Bad Poetry Poem by Garnet Robbie

Bad Poetry



My heart turns dark reading bad poetry:
the same as when the volume's too high;
the same as when the meaning's all gone,

cast...
............down

I won't trust those who won't tell me the truth:
who will leave me choking on their dust;
who will make me wish we had not met,

in...
............chains.

It's easier to not sort good from bad:
not to need to burn my heart away;
not to need to dry from want of rain,

as...
............stone.

We could all drown in this oblivion:
being so long and far and so deep,
being so much a sanctuary,

for...
............death

But then, again, this is as the darkness:
it is an emptiness, solitude,
it is a longing for creation,

of...
............life
