Cadence? Meter? Rhyme?

Poetry doesn't need those things.
All you need
to do
is space
things out really
narrow.

And it's a
poem.
:D

I Wanted to Write a Poem

I wanted to write a poem.
I really really did.
I even made a bid -
For a word that rhymes with "poem".

In the end I must blame myself.
For no one else is here.
I cannot dodge this fear -
That all fingers point to myself.

Still, I shall endeavor not
To pain you with my doubts.
Come hell or high weather,
I should shirk my duties not.

If quality you find lacking
and how could you not
as meter ryme and art go astray.
I blame it all on this confounded cold!

Spread Bad Poetry

If Bad Poetry
were spreadable
like so much jam,
would you spread it?
On TOAST?!?
