Since I've recently broken with tradition, in that the last "Bad Poetry Thursday" poem was not penned by me, I will scoff at that tradition and post some bad poetry that is so bad I could never hope to write anything approaching it.
The Fear
by Jim Morrison
Eternal consciousness
in the Void
(makes trial and jail seem almost
friendly)
a Kiss in the Storm
(Madman at the wheel
gun at the neck
scape populous & arching
coolly)
A barn
a cabin attic
Your own face
stationary
in the mirrored window
fear of restroom's
Tragic cold
neon
I'm freezing
animals
dead
white wings of
rabbits
grey velvet deer
The Canyon
The car a craft
in wretched
SPACE
Sudden movements
& your past
to warm you
in Spiritless
Night
The Lonely HWY
Cold hiker
Afraid of wolves
& his own
Shadow

Now all we need is for William Shatner to sing it. I'm quite amazed he didn't write it himself.
That was so bad I couldn't even read the whole thing.
... And yet, I notice your song o'the day is by The Doors ... and your good poem is definitely from the 60's ... so ... is today "Flashback Thursday"?? Retro Day?? Very good tho ... I like themes.
The songs the last two days were actually supposed to refer to the whole Katrina thing.
As for today's poem, it's a long story. But here it is anyway. I was listening to TMBG's Apollo 18 album on the way to work and I was trying to figure out when it was released (1988 I think), which led me to think about their John Henry album, which led me to think about a song on that album that cops the first lines of Howl. Huh, I guess the story wasn't that long after all.
