Perhaps I'm the only one who will think this is funny but I thought it'd be funny to try and compose horribly bad poems. Any style (free form, iambic pentameters, haiku, etc.) It just needs to be bad. Here's my attempt:

I took a left at the sun
At a sign that said find some fun
And what I found was better than chewing gum.
I found some love.

It filled my heart
And gave me a start
We grew so close I wasn't ashamed to fart
His name was Lou

I often think back to that summer with Lou
Where time flew
And we sadly knew what we had to do
Which was come back to the Earth

It made me sad
The time we had
Was so rad
Damn NASA orders

Push my buttons
what does it bring

I'm a puppet on a string
a bird without a wing

If I cannot be influenced
then how

It just happened one nite
I got such a fright
and now I'm a ghost
without the most
dearest thing in my life
but enough strife

What happened to Christmas
where did it go
north or south
I'll never know
unless you tell me
but i'm not going to ask a thing
just listen to you breathe
so for now
just wow!

Ok, this is a poem I made up in high school. It was supposed to be bad, so just keep that in mind. It is supposed to be about a park near my house. When I was a kid, I wanted to go barefoot in the sand pit. My dad told me no, because there was broken glass in the sand. I said I would be very careful. "I'll be very, very careful, please, please, please!!!" So he said ok, and five minutes later, I got a big shard of glass stuck in my foot.

The thing that makes it extra funny now, is that I let someone read it once, and they thought it was about a woman with loose morals. Ever since then the poem takes on a second meaning.

"I am a Park"

Swing me
Slide me
Merry-go-round me
I am a park

See-saw
Teeter-totter
And monkey bar me
I am a park

Drink from my fountain
I'll put glass in your feet
I'll throw you off my rocket ship
I am a park
