Name: betteroffbad

Age: as young as springtime but also pretty old

Location: the slush pile
(formerly known as springtime)

About Me:

once upon a time i tried to write poetry
I found I could only write bad poetry
since January 2019 I have written exclusively bad poetry
using a wide range of techniques for creating poetry
for example using the word poetry to rhyme with other instances of the word poetry


About My Journal:
bad poems every day monday through friday
weekends and holidays off because even the fiery muse needs a break now and then


What I Write: poems about poetry but also other things
mostly it rhymes but sometimes it doesn't

What I Don't Write: good poetry, prose

What I Read: everything but mostly books

What I Don't Read: if someone for example makes up a lot of the details of a memoir and then tries to pass it of as Just A Writer Thing, You Wouldn't Understand How Facts Are A Bourgeois Affectation, as a general rule I don't read books by that person, unless maybe they have been dead for 150 years

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I could, but will I? certainly not.
you all deserve better.

I support bad poetry as vital in the scheme of existence in the same way as decorative cabbages. Adding you, if I might.
