Bad Poetry Day

By JWMedia in Haiku August 18, 2015

I don’t know who comes up with these “official days,” but today is being observed as Bad Poetry Day. I suppose someone thinks bad poetry is better than no poetry.

So I came up with a Haiku for the day. It wasn’t easy writing a bad Haiku on purpose, but here goes:

A Haiku For Bad Poetry Day
Write a bad poem
On purpose? That’s too hard for
This Haiku Master.

So there it is, after hours of painstaking thought and reflection. You know, now that I read it again, that’s actually a pretty decent Haiku. Good even. Maybe even excellent!

Jerry reaches into the archive for an interview with Toby Mac from October 2015. Toby had just released the “This Is Not A Test” project and was touring. They talk about the then recent loss of Toby’s dad, the possibility of a dc Talk reunion and how Toby views music as a river that he wants to keep floating along in.
