You Asked For It....bad poetry

~for the creative bad poetry contest, you asked for bad poetry, you got it. ;-)

The apathetic aptitude of numbers had left me color blind

the physics foretold were discombobulating to me, a student

studying with fiscal frustrated madness,  a math wizard in disguise

paint by numbers of the brain was above my pay grade

Random synapses

 fired subliminally in my mind,

like  holograhic sputtering of gray matter'd egghead tissue

unattractive in umbered hues of brown, I wrapped my pen around

flamingo pinks & eel glow green instead,  for they were floating in my head

Being a math person by necessiy, not by choice, I can completely identify with this one, Frieda, and know it is a bad situation - a great subject for a very bad poem. lol When numbers dominate your waking hours, it's very hard to fit those words somewhere in between. Good luck with the contest!

[Frieda P]

Oh, I don't know how you do it Joyce, me and numbers have a hate/hate relationship, give me words any day...thanks, ha, I guess I hope I don't win, I'm not sure...lol

[Joyce S. Greene]

You certainly have a point about winning that contest, unless you think of the word "Bad" - now to the very young, "Bad" means "Good" so if you're young at heart and you win you can just smile and say you misinterpreted the sponsor's intent and purposely wrote a very good poem, which of course, you did. So, see, win or lose you can still keep smiling! Sleep well.

YUP

pretty BAD

Clever though

[Kaitlynn A. Black]

How Cool! I don't think this is bad poetry at all! So many rich words in each line. It's better than finding the prize in a crackerjack box! =D I could totally see this as a witches lament, just before her Brew Stew Exam! Ha ha!

Awe-Se-Um!

F...loved it. Snapapsis...I think you may have meant 'synapsis' but who really cares...a new word perhaps for a poem so deep I may need a scuba tank. Made me smile...bobc

[Frieda P]

Haha you're kidding right? Yes, I did, have no clue how that got away from me, but as you said who really cares, it's a mess....

[bobc]

Not kidding about loving it. The fact that it is incomprehensible and completely opaque and intentionally so, just makes it for me. BTW...the word I think you were looking for was actually 'synapses' (a junction between two nerve cells) rather than 'synapsis' (the fusion of chromosome pairs at the start of meiosis). Then again...I'm still enjoying this...bobc

[Frieda P]

At this point I don't know what I mean anymore...hahah thanks.

[Rita L. Sev]

How did you create such fanciful, wild images with that word list? I feel like I've looked through the rabbit hole with this one. You are a clever cookie, Frieda!

Love the captcha...

[Frieda P]

This one wasn't easy, I don't write well under constraints that's why I challenge myself with a Senryu every so often, this was my third try, I was ready to pack it in, but I said hey it's supposed to be bad. Lol, thanks Rita!

This kinda leaves my mind discombobulated in a most peculiar way. Trace

[Frieda P]

[lee von cleef]

O Pity patter of pemtamiter tipped the hat and the waiter over the edge and the bed tooo. ( now that is bad)

[Frieda P]

Hahah you try making poetry out of fiscal flamingos my good man, see what you come up with! ;-P

Bobbing desk bound
gravities glass my shroud
pink water and feather on my ars.
Just up the down.

[Blue Ivory]

This one has my brain more jumbled up than God intended it to be...You don't fail to entertain Frieda! :P

[Frieda P]

Laughing here, I'm glad I'm not the only one! :-P

[Mia]

You tricked me Frieda…I was expecting bad poetry. Luring me here under false pretences is not cool!

[Frieda P]

Have you been drinking again? lol....thanks Mia!

[Mia]

It's 5pm somewhere in the world...lol! Always a pleasure :)
