The Worst

[Winter_Fare]

Coming out of a dry spell where every poem I tried to write just ended up as an awkward sentence and I know you've all been there!

So I am starting a thread for brave fools who would like to frame their turds alongside mine for posterity.

It can be bad. Or funny. Or so bad it's funny. Anything goes!

Sonnet of Sadness

The frost beneath the silver harvest moon
Has silvered all the places we have lain
Reminds me of the joy you used to feign
With all the skill of a red arsed baboon
Walking home with you one afternoon
I noticed that you saw me with disdain
I never walked with you that way again
I hope to god that I forget you soon

I fear there will not be a parody
As foolish as this: our love's threnody
Now I know what you really think of me
Still read your sexts whilst I'm having a poo
Reminds me of the drug I must eschew
Reminds me still that all I want is you

I came to think
this one bloody drink
could mimic the jimjams
the warmth of your trim hands
on my skin

but the dark red
then, I would have said
left by the sharp wine maker
'twas my very own life dripping in the shaker
a flaw in the glass

lips cut
how to realize, not
without reflection of this body's shaking
shape moving to the mirror an unswallowable untertaking
sitting before my inner eyes

now on the ground
where words bereft of sound
like leaves, summer-bleached, autumn-dyed, fallen
on no one's lap, but the carpet's, November callin'
my end

The frost beneath the silver harvest moon
Has silvered all the places we have lain
Reminds me of the joy you used to feign
With all the skill of a red arsed baboon
Walking home with you one afternoon
I noticed that you saw me with disdain
I never walked with you that way again
I hope to god that I forget you soon

I fear there will not be a parody
As foolish as this: our love's threnody
Now I know what you really think of me
Still read your sexts whilst I'm having a poo
Reminds me of the drug I must eschew
Reminds me still that all I want is you

"Still read your sexts whilst I'm having a poo
Reminds me of the drug I must eschew
Reminds me still that all I want is you"

These lines will haunt me"
