Not All Poetry Is Bad

So perhaps you are wondering about the title of this book it suggests that this poetry book is going to contain fantastic poetry. Well, this book is broken into three distinct sections and the first section of this book is dedicated to a weekly event that takes place on WordPress The Terrible Poetry Contest.

Some might be surprised to learn that writing terrible poetry is quite difficult. So I thought let's start with the bad and then I'll let you be the judge of whether things improves. For those interested I have marked the poems that won with a subtle notice. I hope you enjoy.

The second section of this book is contemporary poetry and I often find that I write contemporary poetry when I least expect it and about the most bizarre topics.
While I hope that you find these not the least bit terrible, if you do then have a chuckle. They were written to entertain.

Lastly the final section is based on Japanese poetry forms and though I am by no means an expert on writing Japanese poetry, I think over time my efforts improved, though I suspect my subject matter was on occasion inappropriate.

Please feel free to leave comments and I hope you enjoy.
