@valtmy 😛 I remember you mentioning this back on KP.  Some advice I can give you is use an overabundance of similes and metaphors.  Compare the loved one to everything that is good and over-compare so much so that it is ridiculous, and give no reason for the comparison, but just compare for the sake of comparing.  I’ll give you an example of that:

I love to love my love
My love is like a dove
A dove is like my love
Because a dove is love

…which makes absolutely no sense, but I think that is the point.

Now, “bad poetry” could simply consist of that, making it bad simply because it’s ridiculous and doesn’t make sense, since love poetry is supposed to be lofty and pure.  Or you could go further in making truly bad, by intentionally ignoring structure and rhyme at times, for example:

I love you so much because you are
Just like a bird who loves to soar
In the sky above us all
Oh won’t you please listen unto my loving call?

…in which you see I used a bad “rhyme” between the first two lines, and none of the lines really have matching meters.  I used a true rhyme for the last two lines, because the meter is so bad you need that to assure you it’s still supposed to be a poem. 😛

I hope this is helpful?

@seekjustice mentioned a poem I’d written recently, and I think you said you were interested in reading it.  Have you found it, or would you like me to give you a new link to it or something?
