When it's good, it's good.
When it's bad, it's simply awful.

Poetry's made every day like bread.

Doggerel ... poetry from the kennel.
Ha’át’íísh baa naniná?
Azee’ Å,a’ish nanídį́į́h?
Táadoo ánít’iní.
What are you doing?
Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

Poetry is not always good but it is not bad.

Gawdzilla Sama

As I was going
Up the stair,
I met a man
Who wasn't there.
He wasn't there
Again today.
I wish, I wish
He'd go away.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Some people here, recited poetry in their youth, in a French chapeau, holding a cigarette in a funny way, while discussing Sartre.

When I was about 13ish, I wanted to be a writer. So I put a small desk in the garage attic, and along with my typewriter, an ice bucket with a glass of my Dads scotch and his pipe with Captain Black did exactly that. On day three of my new found “road to fame and fortune” I did not snuff the pipe very well and.....well....I burned the garage down....
