Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted September 18, 2010 I believe we already have poetry threads here, here and perhaps most disturbingly here. Oh yes, and here. Yes but are they Crap poetry threads? Aren't we about due for another poetry competition? The crappier and more irreverent - the better. Potential Laureates need not apply. This thread is dedicated to the profane! Yep, erm, yes, I think it needs to be pointed out that, generally speaking, when somebody creates a thread, they usually start it off by making a statement, contribution, summary or start the discussion regarding their aforementined creation. What they dont normally do is create a thread and sod off expecting everybody else to start chipping in. Perhaps you would like to start the ball rolling by posting a crap poem?

Windsor 2,233 Posted September 18, 2010 And so we were made aware of the scandal, More details to come from the Lady Grendel? Or was the tell tell the one from Amsterdam? Who lifted the lid on such a despicable sham! I for one am left without much of a clue, To whom am I talking? Yvonne or Sue? Whats going on you really must tell, Or if not you can all go to hell! Read these lines of my terrible rhyme, I must say sorry again for wasting your time. So let me know what the hell is this tale, PM me soon or else this poem will be a fail.

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted September 18, 2010 What a shame that someone had to post a poem here! But at least it's a crap one. Correction: two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted September 18, 2010 Well no, Lardy's scans nicely. Only Windsor's is suitably crap. Sadly true. Particularly since Windsor's last poem, (wishing, if memory serves, death on some poor soul doubtless undeserving of same), was actually quite good. I was disappointed to see this not becoming a trend in his work. I wonder if I should try writing a crap poem myself? The last poem I wrote was certainly not well received, but no amount of humility can convince me that that is not more a refelection on dedsox's taste than on the quality of the piece itsself. What are the prerequisites for a crap poem? Does it have to be cloyingly sentimental or are boringness and bad technique enough? Perhaps it's time we laid down some rules?

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted September 18, 2010 What are the prerequisites for a crap poem? Does it have to be cloyingly sentimental or are boringness and bad technique enough? Perhaps it's time we laid down some rules? The ultimate judge of that is one's taste, which doesn't always follow rules. Bad technique is part of it. With farfetched rimes and scanning poorly, lots of half-rimes work OK. Yet there is more to it; Ivo de Wijs (poet) researched the topic and got to the core. One of his books on things versificational (yes, he wrote several) tells us some more. He claims that part of the work of the crap maker lies in his turning his hurts to clichés. Then on the other side crap poem readership turn the clichés back to hurt and some pay. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Defarge 21 Posted September 18, 2010 What are the prerequisites for a crap poem? Does it have to be cloyingly sentimental or are boringness and bad technique enough? Perhaps it's time we laid down some rules? yes it has to be cloyingly sentimental my dear notapotato but sappiness is simply not enough a crap poem must also be completely devoid of rhyme or rhythm and authored by a w***er Who once experienced an emotion and Was so surprised by it that he or she as the case may be Immortalised it for all the world to see in an outburst of prose separated arbitrarily by Line breaks and paragraphs And called it a poem ( bonus points awarded if family values or patriotism are mentioned ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunjaman5000 30 Posted September 18, 2010 What are the prerequisites for a crap poem? Does it have to be cloyingly sentimental or are boringness and bad technique enough? Perhaps it's time we laid down some rules? I think Windsors second attempt; Bite ma shite.fits the criteria best so far in that it features crap as a subject. Although I'm not sure how well a thread featuring poo poetry would go down. Surely there's already considerable acreages of the internet devoted to that sort of thing?

Memento Mori 12 Posted September 18, 2010 Been up and about since dawn's early light, then had to contend with a shedload of shite. Got soaked to skin, lost my wallet again, and didn't get home until well after ten. Wish I could say I'd been out getting pissed, but my social life has been crossed off the list. With so much to do and with so little time, this is the first shot I've had at a rhyme. So apologies to everyone for beginning this thread and then having to run.

Godot 149 Posted September 19, 2010 The heading is a little ambiguous. Is it a poetry corner that's crap or a corner for crap poetry? It's important to know when considering one's possible contribution. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
