Invisible Birds

I wrote and posted this on a forum thread of uniformly awful original poetry, partly because I wanted to make fun of the people posting their terrible works, but mostly because I wanted to make fun of them. As you can tell, it’s a bloody masterpiece.

This are a poem,
A poem I has writ.
I done gone and wrote it,
And this here is it.

A poem gotta rhyme,
And need to have rhythm.
I run outta time.
A good word is ‘kitten’.

I coulda been worser;
You should be quite thank
-ful that I didn’t
Write verse that be blank.

It’s easy and simple
And not very hard
To keep hittin’ Enter
after
each
word.

But just cuz you space it
With random line breaks
Don’t make it mean nothin’.
That’s common mistakes.

I guess what I’s sayin’
In words fast and slow-etry
You can use forms poetic,
But it don’t make it poetry.
