Fish in My Hair

Bad Poetry

I'm excited to announce, in honor of today being Bad Poetry Day, TC's First Annual Bad Poetry Awards. Here's what you have to do to enter and possibly win.

1. Write a bad poem, using either your blog name or user name as part of the poem. (There are no specific guidelines for this. We all know a bad poem when we see one.) Here's an example, which I created before my first cup of coffee this morning - a time when the worst poetry is written, in my opinion..

   Lost and Found If you find a pair of boy's underwear, contact Fish In My Hair. Her sons' tushies are bare.

2. Put the poem on your blog, and leave me a comment here letting me know where to find your entry.
3. I will announce two winners - Young Adult (under 18), and Adult - on Monday, Aug. 20.
4. Winners will be given an award button to post on their blog.

That's it! Have fun, and remember, you're not truly a bad poet until it can be said of you the same that J.K. Stephens said of William Wordsworth: "An old half-witted sheep."

Yay, poetry. :D

I write some poetry, but I'm not sure whether it's good or bad. xD

But, but, but...I want my readers to come back again!

I could dig out the stuff I wrote in Jr. High. The sad part is, I wasn't trying to write bad poetry.

You can read it in this post http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/jengresak/375734/

Make sure there is something to vomit in nearby, as it is dreadful - but that was my goal right? Lol!

I'm thinking of using your "Seester's" for a classroom memorization exercise.
I'm *hearing* it with an accent.
I'm contemplating the depth.
I'm having poetry envy.

I'm sorry.

Is this contest in conjuction with the Grace & Peace award? I think that I probably will get a lifetime ban from consideration after this submission. I expect that my entry will evoke all sorts of emotional responses.

Mrs. TC,

I have never been able to read your blog without literally laughing out loud. Thank you for the humor - reading your posts ALWAYS brightens my day!

I hope you decide to stay on HSB, for if you move, I would lose the only blog I visit daily and first. I'm sorry you are dealing with issues with other believers - frankly, that stinks!! =) But I'll be praying for... perhaps a reconciliation, after all? In either case, thanks for sticking around!!

And again, thanks for the laughs. You really are the one person whose blog I visit everyday, particularly for the humor!
Yours truly redundant,
Jess =)
