Udderly cluttering
internet byways,
bad poetry strewn
ad infinitum.
Forced into rhyme lanes
neglecting enjambment,
dashed upon less
eloquent embankments.
Mangled remains
of dyslexic lexicon,
mowed down by novice
who can’t steer a quill.
Tipped bovine parchment
deemed keen for landfill,
wack verses drop pallid,
uninspiring as well.
No rumination required,
it’s cud’s bitter pill,
slumped amidst
more common road kill.
Whether prodded with stick
or scavenger devoured,
carrion just the same,
which carries on
regardless.

Moo, it is a sad affair! Everyone and their mother writes poetry.

Ha ha, not really. Read, read and then read some more, and then try to write one!

This is very good, so smooth and easy to read. the two running themes are both clear by the second read, an excellent tongue in cheek poem. TOMH
