B-B-B-B-Bad Poetry
Many apologies dear Reader, because I started out hoping to give you a free story today, but it sucked so bad I just couldn't hand you that particular
trope and be happy I offered you cardboard instead of sushi. Instead? I'm sharing something terrible and I don't mind. Three (count them, THREE) bad poems. I have never claimed to be a poet; I just like to experiment with the form for the sheer and obligatory fun-ness of it. (Yes, fun-ness is not a word. Though, staycation wasn't a word up until someone in a marketing department made it so.)
Imagine that! A writer having FUN with words!?!?! NO WAY.

I watched them die before
the slow death
of bones walking on hard pavement
I watched them sing before
the fast song
of life bourne, love and pain
I watched them dance before
the lullaby dance
hypnotic motions of an everyday life
and there I was
watching
in a window half-open

Half as much
without the whole
Beauty speaks
the larger Picture

So he's waited
so he tries
to set godhead close
with arms on strings
and many, multi-colored
things to hold
things to have
spinning him round
without one spring
or other little, dangling
things he's known
things he controls
inside out he
walks the line
round in circles
like everyday time
two-handed victor
tightly wound
so he's trying
so he waits
