While reading 'good' poetry is still the better way of learning to write;
reading 'bad' poetry as an example of what not to do is, it seems to me,
useful as well. Any thoughts? (See example below.)
"The DECADENT SHIRE!"
Enter not this shadow place, for within its nook love found no space.
A shire so fallen in the cruelest sense. The regard of its caretaker
never holding any respect.
For innocent care was not rendered and selfish greed had taken over.
The spoils of this fallen dream became a twisted dying clover.
It was sad to see but inevitably known.
These were the lost memories of a reality so empty and alone.
