Bob’s Bad Poem

Someone said my poems,
Were all so very good,
I couldn’t write a bad one so,
I guess I thought I should.

I’ll start by saying orange,
That doesn’t rhyme with squat.
So if you speak of oranges,
A poet you are not!

Another thing I hate to see,
Is words that don’t quite rhyme,
So if you happen on such things,
You’ll know they aren’t mine.

And meter is important too,
The rhythm of the pome,
I try to keep mine steady on,
And not wandering too very far from home.

The essence of a poem,
At least where I’m concerned.
Is that you have a point to make,
Not clever phrases turned.

Anyone can write a poem,
Free verse is free-for-all,
But it takes art to have them shown,
Somewhere other than a wall.
