A poem for your enjoyment

I am not normally that guy, but...

That was aweful. Really.

 

It's not about form. I am a fan of Poetry and familiar with many poetry styles. The writing is just bad IMO.

It's like when Twain or Shakespeare have a character write a poem in their work and it is pourposefully bad. That's how I see this.

 

Of poetry I am not a fan,
and I still ain't.

 

It's very much of it's era. It ain't great poetry but it spoke to me (I coulld picture a Victorian gent, puffing on a stogie while sipping a cold one) and I liked it!

 

Yikes! I reacted.
Of poetry I know not.
This is not helping.

 

Thanks.
Tagging @Martyartie and @patto1ro for the “nut-brown” reference.

 

It lost me for a bit, but the last few lines were kinda dope. Good on them for mentioning nut brown ale in the poem!

 

I like it. Expressing such deep thoughts with a few well-chosen words is a true art form. As far as the construction goes, it reminds me a great deal of the hymn "Love Unknown." It flows smoothly despite the terse phrasing. Besides, it describes perfectly what I am doing right now. (Except for the cigar.)

De gustibus and all that.

 

That was so bad, it hurt my soul when I read it.

 

I thought one was required to relinquish ones soul when one accepts a position in your field?


Poims versus haiku is
An interesting type of
Comparison of chat

 

I don't claim the skill of a Poe or a Thackeray
But I can tell you for certain that poem was hackery.

 

I actually found that to be a well constructed poem.
