Why is it a bad poem? I think it's quite nice.

"bad" is also a slang word that means really good! I like this, I actually know someone who said this to me. Lo and behold, it was true! I fell in love.

The syntax in the fourth line is bad, but overall this is a pretty good poem.

I wrote it with the specific intent of doing everything that I was taught not to do in writing class. I was trying to be bad just to see what would happen if I submitted it to Poetry.com. I guess I didn't do a very good job of it. Writing badly isn't as easy as I thought on purpose anyway. The website though offers to publish absolutely everything. the first time I gor really excited, but then I realized that it is mostly a gimmick with them. They did surpirise me however by publishing on of my poems and giving me a free copy of the book. I think I am rambling a bit tonight. sorry. Just wanted to explain the title. Also I suck at titles most of time anyway.

I just realized how much my typing sucks! For the record, I CAN spell and speak properly. My fingers just can't always find their way around the keyboard. LOL!
