    The worst poetry on the internet
    http://nylon.net/poetry/teenage.htm


    Crosses of gold,
    And those of stone,
    Do not effect the world I roam.
    Those only of blood and flesh and life,
    Are the ones that cause me strife.
    To see the sun my life is done,
    A wooden stake my life shall take.
    I am immortal, yet I can die,
    By the mortal hands belonging to thy.
    Where he stands in all the lands a gleam within His eye,
    A wooden stake my life shall take,
    And then no longer am I


    Not bad, eh?

    C'mon, Asher, can't you figure out mine?

      They are truly awful.

        Here are some truly brilliant poems.

        Roses are Red,
        Violets are Blue,
        All of my Base are Belong to you.


        You double-clicked my heart
        You've upgraded my life
        You booted up my hard drive
        Please be my cyber-wife
        You've logged into my soul
        You've downloaded my dreams
        Let's go to my chat-room
        And I'll show you what I mean

        I wanna log in to you
        So I can prove my love is true
        You're the apple of my IBM, let me interface with you
        I wanna log in to you
        (Log in to you)

        Password incorrect
        My login was denied
        I gotta open up your motherboard
        Put my Pentium inside

        I got a 21" screen
        The colours'll make you dizzy
        My attachments are full of love for you
        But your modem still rings busy (Beep beep)

        www dot love
        you at me dot com
        You can unzip all my floppy files
        And spin my CD-ROM

        I wanna log in to you
        So I can prove my love is true
        I'm free of any virus
        And I've been debugged too
        I wanna log in to you
        So I can prove my love is true
        Come be my laptop dancer, I got lotsa RAM for you
        I wanna log in to you

          The #includes that I attach
          Checking that my '"'s match
          The cryptic text of all my betters
          With titles formed from just two letters
          But run "vi", give it a bash
          50 words, and then a ...

            Quite bad. They remind me of some of the poetry I wrote when I was just beginning. The crosses of gold in particular is weird - it reminds me of the famous political "cross of gold" speech (I will not crucify humanity on a cross of gold or something like that).

                Would you say that most of the poems in this thread are bad?

                    It's easy to be smug at the bad examples, but much harder when you look at the better poetry.

                    I mean anybody can code, but it's hard to write code well. Same with poetry.

                      I HAVE READ "THE BROWNING BROWNCARDS OF YORE" *AND* THE BRILLIANT "SO WHAT, I LIKE BROWNIES", AND IF YOU READ ALL OF THE SHILLIAN WORKS YOU WOULD KNOW TOO. I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM WASTING MY TIME WITH THE LIKES OF *YOU*.

                        It's even easy to write code well, relatively.

                        And I'll be the first to tell you most code is crap.

                        Coding very well is something very few people can do, but when they do, they get jobs with big companies. They even get to bypass the whole developer stage, and become an analyst that helps other people when they can't figure out how to do some code.

                          I don't know - I haven't exactly been keeping track.

                          Most poems written are bad - even by major poets. The trick is revision. Professionals revise and they practice to improve their voice. Amateurs have no conception of how to change their work for the better, or more likely, refuse to see the flaws in their work.

                              Funny.

                              I thought it was always the critics and analysts who did their respective disciplines poorly.

                              That's why they became critics, and analysts and not poets or coders.

                                It's instructive to see some of the revisions made, particularly by Tennyson.

                                He did some huge renovations of the Lady of Shallot before he got something that worked.
