Terrible Poetry
Written by Luke T. Campbell
Thank God
I’m terrible at poetry
I can’t recite any poems
I lack lyrical verses
And rhyming schemes
My pacing is off
Thank God
Because I’d be a terrible poet
For starters, I like eating
There are some who can
Make a living writing poetry
Not me
No doubt, I won’t give in
Writing and reading poetry
But let’s be realistic
I’ll woo no women
Inspire no movements
With my third grade wordplay
I’ve heard that Julius Caesar
Wrote poetry — as far as I know,
That’s not what he’s known for
At least he and I will have
One thing in common
And you? What’s your legacy?
