Happy Bad Poetry Day
Published on Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
“All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling,” said Oscar Wilde. Feel this: August 18th is “Bad Poetry Day,” to be celebrated, perhaps by writing or reading bad poems. The holiday, reportedly created by Wellcat.com, is being celebrated in numerous…web-based locations, like this one, this one, this one and this one. Always valuable to celebrate failure, or, in the words of Paul Violi, “the child whose ball doesn’t bounce back.” Maybe this or this can get you started.
