There are good poems and there are bad poems in the world. Then there is the worst poetry in the world on a whole different level of its own. These are the poems that make your eyes bleed and make you want to forget all the words you have ever learned.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Heart is a Wiffle Ball \/ Freedom Pole – Kristen Stewart<\/h2>\n

I reared digital moonlight<\/em><\/p>\n

You read its clock, scrawled neon across that black<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Worst<\/p>\n

The readers of Marie Claire magazine were deeply honoured to be able to read all of Kristen Stewart\u2019s bold attempt at writing the world\u2019s worst poem. She said that doesn\u2019t want to sound \u201cf**king utterly pretentious\u201d but that after writing her delicious poems she thinks, \u201cHoly f**k, that\u2019s crazy\u201d. With those delightful turns of phrase and imaginative use of vocabulary it is easy to see why she writes poetry.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tay Bridge Disaster \u2013 William McGonagall<\/h2>\n

For the stronger we our houses do build<\/em><\/p>\n

The less chance we have of being killed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Worst<\/p>\n

Scottish poet McGonagall is widely regarded as being the worst poet to have ever written horrible stuff on pieces of paper in an overly earnest way. His Tay Bridge Disaster is a genuine disaster and is often called the worst poem of all time. Oh I don\u2019t know, a lady called Jennifer might have a thing or two to say about that.<\/p>\n

Lucky in Love – Jennifer Aniston<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve brought luck to love<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been hit by a truck in love<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Worst<\/p>\n

Anyone who has ever been hit by a truck in love \u2013 and I think it\u2019s safe to say we have all been at some point \u2013 knows exactly what Jen is getting at in this profound poem. She\u2019s telling us that when someone brings you luck in love you can expect to get smashed by a heavy goods vehicle before they dump you. She wrote it as a tribute to the charming and not at all sleazy slimeball John Mayer.<\/p>\n

Remembrance of Who I am \u2013 Britney Spears<\/h2>\n

You trick me one, twice, now it\u2019s three<\/em><\/p>\n

Look who\u2019s smiling now \/Damn, it\u2019s good to be me!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"The\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah Britney, you had the world at your feet and you tripped up and fell over it. Hit Me Baby One More Time was clearly a word of dark, twisted, poetic genius. However, this cringe inducing poem is just awful. It might not be the worst poetry in the world ever but it has got to be in the top ten.<\/p>\n

A Poem for Dzhokhar- Amanda Palmer<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t know how orgasmic the act of taking in a lungful of oxygen is<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Until they hold your head under the water<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Worst<\/p>\n

Is it time to be controversial yet? As this is now the 21st century I reckon that it\u2019s safe to say that I really don\u2019t like Shakespeare\u2019s poems at all. We all know phrases from his works, like \u201cstar cross lovers\u201d, \u201call that glitters is not gold\u201d and \u201ca gangster\u2019s paradise\u201d. Hang on, that was Coolio, wasn\u2019t it? Bill wrote about \u201ca fool\u2019s paradise\u201d. He is said to have contributed more phrases to the English language than anyone else. That was nice of him but I still don\u2019t like his poems. Having said that, next to Amanda Palmer the Bard looks like, actually, he looks like Shakespeare.<\/p>\n

A Dog Named Beau – Jimmy Stewart<\/h2>\n

He\u2019d dig up a rosebush just to spite me<\/em><\/p>\n

And when I\u2019d grab him, he\u2019d turn to bite me.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Worst<\/p>\n

Jimmy Stewart turned up on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson to delight the watching world with a hideous poem about his dead dog. It was gruesome stuff.<\/p>\n

A Tragedy \u2013 Theophile Jules-Henri Marzials<\/h2>\n

Drop<\/p>\n

Dead<\/p>\n

Plop, flop<\/p>\n

Plop<\/p>\n

\"Worst<\/p>\n

Some people have called this the single worst line from a poem in history. It\u2019s really hard to build up a convincing case to suggest otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
