SO, piece is a "Bad Poem" and I know I've said countless times I don't believe in bad poetry, but today (and yesterday) in my poetry class (at camp not school) We were talking and I realized that there really is such thing as "bad poetry" especially if you're trying to make it bad. So our assignment was to write a "bad" poem, using the list of things that made poetry bad, here was mine (which by the way, won, for worst poem)(the title alone should tell you its going to be horrible)

Sometimes
I love you
a lot
Sometimes
I do not
You make me very very mad
which also makes me super sad
You always walk out the door
I don't want you anymore
But
I also miss you
lots and lots
lots and lots
The way you loved tater-tots
almost as much as I love you
I love you
a lot
lots and lots
So much
I'd buy you six million
tater-tots
