August 18th is Bad
Poetry Day. The muses are on break. Are you reading, writing, and rhyming?
Today is Bad
Poetry Day.
May wanna-be
writers shout, "Hey!"
Go wrestle and
rhyme
And have a
great time,
As readers cry
out, "Foul play!"
Today, rhyme
and meter have fled.
Real literature
waits, now unread.
Two-dozen clock
spins
Forgive verbal
sins.
Just write off
the top of your head.
Tomorrow, the
rules will return.
The blood of
books’ teachers will burn.
Reviewers may chide
With comments
most snide,
Bad poetry
raises concern.
Still, cast off
restraint for a while.
This holiday summons
a smile.
Go play with a
phrase
On this day of
days.
Perhaps you may
find your own style.
