A Terrible Poem

So a fun assignment in my creative writing class has, er, been assigned. It is simply this: write a terrible poem. Seriously, go out of the way to create a horrible poem.

Finally, something that I can apply my skills to!

Apparently, these poems will be judged and whichever is the most terrible will win 1st prize. Winning is kind of a hobby of mine, so I'm trying to compose a poem so horrible that it would make fetuses sneeze.

Here is what I have come up with so far:



The warmth of your absence
Is like melting snow in my mouth
Lo, I am a broken mule
My hooves are weeping
And they weep and weep and weep
Weep and sweep
Until my heart is cane sugar
And your rejection, the tongue
Lick lick
And remember when
I tried
That one pick up line on you
"Does this smell like chloroform to you"
And I didn't know what had happened
To your sister
And I felt really bad
And
The birds
They flock
To my cane sugar
While I, The Billygoat
Weep and weep
Weep and sweep
Lick Lick



I don't know, I rather like it in a twisted way. But it needs more work; it could be more terrible, I think.
