For a project, I need bad or lame poetry. Luckily, I've written plenty, & lots of it was conveniently at hand in a folder called DUDS. It's not easy to get the exactly right bad poem, however. It needs a certain sincerity & eagerness, along with a bad ear & conventional conclusions. Lame is easier than out & out bad somehow. Here's a sample:
if I had a match
I would light this joint
if I were stoned
I would write a fantastic poem
if I were full of colored words
depression would pale into the greyest spectrum
