Ode to Bad poetry (Free verse) by amb12203
I don't care about broken hearts I've stepped on a few myself just to hear them sqeak. I'm not in the habit of sympathy. I don't care about any of the following: twinkling stars, Flowing brooks, illicit kisses, Or Sundays in Autumn when the sunswept dew touches the meadows in a glistening haze. All of these things make me puke. Nor do I care about death, everlasting eternity heaven and hell and the immortal vortex voiding your soul in an infinity of pain And by the way, excessive swearing does not make you a fucking poet, it makes you profane. Take my opinion for what it's worth The ravings of a hack who started writing yesterday. Dig and be you You're more than a rainbow bigger than death And more interesting than a seagull filled beach. Peace.

Up the ladder: Hunger
Down the ladder: persistant doubt

hear hear!

I can't tell if I like the awkwardness of the poem or not, but it's a great statement. Reminds me of something I wrote a few months ago, only this is more comprehensive. :)

You may not care about broken hearts, but I bet you care about broken wind.

Are you projecting.. cuz if you don't care about either heaven or hell than you could probably give three squirts about the difference between a hack or "an unprofane genius" so why even write the poem if none of these things supposedly bug you? Shouldn't you be off wearing the robes of a Samana, and reading Herman Hesse somewhere in India?e
