With a new edition each time on her blog,
But it had been a tough week,
And she felt pretty bleak,
So she just found an interesting day to name it after and figured that would do.
Howdy Floggers! It's International Bad Poetry Day, could you tell?
Yes, there is such a day (I know, I was surprised too). Well actually it was the 18th but for half the world it still will be when this goes live, so that's good enough for me!
Feel like winning something? Write me a bad poem below and the best of the worst will win... I dunno yet, but I'll get ya something pretty from Typo.
Let's Flog, baby.
The Rules
(As stolen from Lori, thus making Baby Jesus cry... sorry)
- Follow Where's My Glow?
- Bow down at the alter of Mummy Time; Blog-goddess, all round groovy gal and creator of FYBF
- Grab the FYBF button and post it on your sidebar or in the post you're linking up
- Link in your favourite/best post from the week (don't just put your homepage URL)
- Follow at least 1 linkyer/blogger (Be nice and spread the comment love)
- The list will be open for linkyers on Fridays (and for the foreigners Friday as well)
- A new and fresh linky list will open every Friday. And you will have to link up AGAIN. The previous link list does not carry over to the following week
- Because I live in
DullsvillePerth the list will open around 7am AWST - I'm not getting up at 5am and the last time I scheduled a post it didn't work.
P.S. Many thanks to everyone who sent me lovely tweets, comments and emails over the past weeks sending prayers, thoughts and well wishes to my family. It is so very much appreciated. I actually find it really hard to reply to them and I'm not entirely sure why xxx
In an effort to boost my blog views
ReplyDeleteAnd draw more followers than just 62
I've wished for a teeny Weeny
That cannot be seeny
And Glowless I've flogged it with you!

ReplyDeleteit's really bad poetry
There's a day for everything, isn't there? But I kinda like bad poetry...
ReplyDeleteThis is my poem for you,
ReplyDeleteIt's really quite good for a chew,
So gimme the prize
Of proportionous size
Because I freaking LOVE Typo
(I find it really really hard to reply to all my comments and tweets and emails at the moment too... Thankyou doesn't convey what I want to say, and after saying it for a bit, the word is a bit overused for me... )
ReplyDeleteAnd here is the worst I can do on short notice :P
I like to write a bit of prose
about life and love and beauty of a rose
but the truth is right now I suck
and my kid is always running amok
time is certainly not on my side
And poetry rules I just don't abide
So I'll fumble my way through writing
something bad and truly frightening
So celebrate, hip hip horray
It's international bad poetry day...
A blogger named Maid In Australia
ReplyDeleteFound the cure for whatever ails ya
Now don't be a snob, but
It involves a Glow Job
And maybe a trip to Tasmania!
On Fridays it's time for FlogYoBlog
ReplyDeleteThis week I won't be able to go the whole hog
I'm afraid I'm feeling weak
Out of time and a little bleak
But a pressie would cheer up this old dog! :)
Awful, just awful......I can't believe I'm about to put this out there for all to see.
There is a chick called Trae,
ReplyDeleteWho smiles the day away
She loves to cook
I bet she has a mean right hook
And she and Tricky play all day, Hoorah!
I might be the Queen of Bad Poetry,
ReplyDeleteBut its all in the way you put your symmetry
of words and timing and stuff
And there you have it, puff!
I know how you feel about the replying, I'm still working out how I'm supposed to feel about my mum passing away in June. But please know I'm thinking of you too. xx
ReplyDeleteI have a secret confession
ReplyDeleteWhich I'll divulge in this FYBF session
I want the award
For a poem that is flawed
So I can feed my Typo obsession
I was a little late
ReplyDeleteOn flog yo blog Friday....
Oops!
I once heard that a poem
Does not always have to rhyme
However, when I write poems
They rhyme most of the time.
There is nothing quite like a Flog,
ReplyDeleteexcept for a good Glow Job!
So I've added a post,
and I don't want to boast,
but it tells why you can't help but love Glowless!
Hey there Glowless, this one came from the top of my head...enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThere was once an old lady named Madge,
Who had an incredibly sore Vag.
Not from the babies she'd birthed
Nor the guy with the big girth.
No, it was the pin from her badge.
She sat on it quite late,
After finishing her nice date
Surprising herself with the prick,
In pain she screamed "Shit a brick!"
"Now I won't be able to mate"
So ladies, do take heed,
Listen to my good deed
and don't end up like Madge.
Close the clasp on your badge
It's not for your Vag, this I'm sure we're all agreed!
I can't stop laughing! I have surprised myself at this little imaginative poem of mine!
Have a fab day!
Nicola
Glowless, I love your blog
ReplyDeleteYou manage to make me laugh and cry
You're insightful and funny
And a gorgeous mummy
And your oreo macaron's made me high
I'm new to writing on the net
You're an inspiration to me, most def
I use blogspot as my host,
And these links to the weeks best posts
Are my highlight of FYOBF!!
I love Japanese Haiku poetry
ReplyDeleteEating too many strawberries give me hives
That is all good bye
So here comes Mama Grace
ReplyDeleteWho's always in your face
Who has twins but tries to stay sane
But instead has a constant fog in her brain...
How was that ? Yes ? Yes ?
Bad poetry, yes ?
I think that if we make a competition for bad poetry we will see that it has more fans than the good poetry... :)
ReplyDeleteIm Mums the Word
ReplyDeleteand I have heard
that glowless's quite a girl
shes cool, shes kinds
she blogs as she finds
so Im having a flogyoblog whirl
heehee! happy friday peoples x
My blog is Swet soft smudge
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not a stick in the mud
That doesn't quite rhyme
So I'll give you the time
Oh crap I thought it was six-oh-one.
My bad poem:
ReplyDeleteI am an older mom
I have lots of fun
wiping a bum
playing in the sun
with my little one
What you mean I coulda just shared my crap poem in the comments? I didn't have to torture my blog readers with it??? bugger
ReplyDeleteExactly, Kristie. I find I write reply emails that are really long and then just delete it and don't send anything.
ReplyDeleteFor TYPO goods I'd do most anything,
ReplyDeleteI might even get up and sing,
Just for the divine Miss Glow,
I will proudly show,
My out-of-tune melody,
Which some may regard a felony.
- I am REALLY bad a poetry. I always hated having to do it in English.
I couldn't get the button to work. But I did follow both of your blogs :) if you would still like to take a look at mine it is http://bobbiskozykitchen.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteBad poetry is in the eye of the beholder...here's my stab:
ReplyDeleteThank god it's Friday
Because if it wasn't I just may
Die.
it has taken me a few days to think of some bad poetry.. so sorry it's taken me so long :-S
ReplyDeleteThere once was a blogger named Glowless,
who had the best blogging prowess,
she knew how to rock a post and a page,
and now her blog is all the rage,
so make sure you flog yo blog here and no less...
ok so I'm a suck hole right?!? lol I do hero worship you though... =)
Eloise, I cannot go past an allergen filled haiku. You've got yourself some Typo goodies. Email me your postal address glowless@wheresmyglow.com
