The rules: You have 5 minutes to write, edit, revise, whatever you want, and post the poem. I've discovered that you can find out things about your writing that you've never noticed before if you write up a quick, trash poem. I am going to post mine below
Quick Write
I am going to write this quickly
As quickly as I can
Just to see how well I will
Write in a short time span
If I tried to write this poem
Over quite a long time
My mind might register mistakes
In lettering and rhyme
So if this poem stinks
And flows as bad as Hell
Only has a few rhymes
And no rhythm... Oh well.
For this poem, you see
Was made on a whim
An experiment of sorts
So it might just be a sin
So please don't take this serious
Just keep laughing as you go
And hopefully soon I will write
A poem with more flow
Alright, that is my poem. Written, in only FIVE minutes. According to some of my friends, it's really good, but I didn't write it to be so. I'd love to see what you guys can throw out. Also, it's easier if you just write the first thing that pops into your head. Thanks for reading.
Also, review is appreciated, but I'm not going to do any more work on this poem, as that kind of ruins the point.
