Writing very bad poetry requires talent. It helps to have a wooden ear for words, a penchant for sinking into a mire of sentimentality, and an enviable confidence that allows one to write despite absolutely appalling incompetence. The 131 poems collected in this first-of-its-kind anthology are so glaringly awful that they embody a kind of genius. From Fred Emerson Brooks' "The Stuttering Lover" to Matthew Green's "The Spleen" to Georgia Bailey Parrington's misguided "An Elegy to a Dissected Puppy", they mangle meter, run rampant over rhyme, and bludgeon us into insensibility with their grandiosity, anticlimax, and malapropism. Guaranteed to move even the most stoic reader to tears (of laughter), Very Bad Poetry is sure to become a favorite of the poetically inclined (and disinclined).

This little book has been compiled from many years of writing poems (verse): about sixty on reflection, and I have split it into sections because I want it to be mainly fun for readers who can choose their own interests. I have always tried to avoid obscurity or difficult phrasing so that although I call it a book of poems I am well aware that for the most part it is not a book of poetry (far be it from me to make such a claim) but a book of verse, limericks, doggerel and prose. Just so long as it brings a smile or a memory.
