Bad Poetry Written in a Coffee Shop

Bad Poetry Example 1
Squirrels belong in cages
To power my round 'n' round thoughts
And make my nightmares nutty
To branch out my crazy
And swing from the tips
Of synapses
Already on the verge of breaking
Squirrels might stash acorns and
Nuggets of wisdom
That alone I would never acquire
Or just chew through the wires
That have hooked my pain center
Right up to my heart
And leave me giddy with relief and delight
Let me pursue ideas like squirrels do
Run at it
Run away
Run at it
Stop
Run in a circle
Run straight up the tree

Bad Poetry Example 2
The walls are naked
It takes time to notice
An absence
An empty spot
On the walls

The heart is empty
It takes time to stop noticing
An absence
A missing beat
In the heart

Bad Poetry Example 3
She desperately wants him
To hold her hand
To connect
Make contact
His arms are tight-folded against his chest
No release
No touch
No contact
Breaking
Some thing's breaking
Communication
Continuity
Heart
Her smile becomes more fragile
More brittle
More undone
He leans back in his chair
Increasing the distance
Decreasing the warmth
Icing the air
Something is dying
Expiring
Gasping for breath
She tries to resuscitate
He watches it die
