I’ve won a competition! Yaay! OK, so it’s actually a competition for writing terrible poetry (on purpose, in case you thought this is my usual standard). The very wonderful Chelsea Owens has started a Weekly Terrible Poetry contest and it is a LOT of fun. This week’s topic was “Sour Grapes” and several budding poor poets immediately dived into the nearest barrel and began scraping. It is truly an honour to have been chosen as the Worst Poet of the Week, particularly when the competition pushed the bar so low.
It is strangely therapeutic to dig around for terrible rhymes, wonky meter and cliche-ridden angst. I highly recommend that you all join in!
Poetic genius! Well done!

What a creative idea. Did you know that often it takes a great deal of expertise and skill to turn something around and do it poorly. I’m heading over to read the rest. 🙂

It might take a great deal of expertise and skill… or I could just be a ‘natural’! 😉

The poem cracked me up. There were so many bad ones, so you really outdid yourself. 🙂

Hilariously awful/brilliant! It takes a talented person to write deliberately awful stuff!

People say that writing bad poetry is supposed to be difficult but I find it worryingly easy.
