Bad Poetry

Does a string of words a poem make?
Non sequitur ramblings
Like a tea pot
Pouring out
Undrinkable tea
Inspid and weak
Promising beauty
It's not able to deliver
Might as well pour a cup of coffee
Forgetting the sweetness
And drink up the bitter dregs
Of meaningless words

What makes a poem from a string of words?
Ramblings, disjointed, like a teapot spills,
Pouring forth insipid tea,
Promises of beauty lost in the brew,
Weak and uninviting,
It fails to deliver.
Perhaps I’d be better off with coffee,
Forgetting sweetness, embracing the bitter,
Sipping the dregs of meaning,
In a cup filled with empty phrases,
Searching for depth in the chaos of sound.
