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.

[Corset]

It's really not that bad pickle, I don't think you can win a bad poetry contest with this :( I was thinking more along the lines of "It was a hot and sunny day, a pickle came our way, but things went sour when we tried to share her shower and then sweet pickles ran away" kind of bad poetry, I might enter that :P
I bet I could win with that :D

[Frieda P]

Hahaha are you drinking too, it's not pickle poetry, it's bad poetry, and you have all the wrong words, there were no pickles on that menu. ;-P

[Corset]

yeah exactly it, pickle can't write bad poetry.

[Frieda P]

Oh believe me, I can...you just don't get to read those.... ;-P

[Corset]

aha! ok then I'll have to take your word for it if you insist on it ;op

[Muse]

"paint by numbers of the brain was above my pay grade"

YOU ARE FREAKING GENIUS. lol you couldn't write bad poetry if your life depended on it!

On a more serious note. This is so freaking terrible I can't even rate it. Forgive me. ;)

[Frieda P]

I'm seriously laughing my a*s off here, somehow it sounds funnier when you say it LOL Wait, what part were you serious about? ;-) hahaha

[Muse]

lol this poem is below my pay grade...I don't get paid enough to review stuff like this. lmao

[Frieda P]

LOL................I think I just snorted. ;-D

[Muse]

[icelandicblue]

Um, huh? An absolutely psychedelic piece of work my friend.

[Frieda P]

Ha, I was just following the instructions, it wasn't hard to write bad poetry with those word choices, although you wrapped your pen around it quite aptly...!
