O where does the pressure all go? One extra faucet and there is no flow This barely a trickle Puts us in a pickle Oh... NOW is when the plumbers show. Oh, and Dave's car broke down in the middle of nowhere... Unfortunately unforeseen events has caused this week's recording to be rescheduled.

Ive never had more fun than on this podcast. I also brought one of the worst poems you could imagine to this show and they actually went through the whole dang thing with me. Theyre the kindest poetry lovers.

Friends! We are having so much fun with all of you amazing people. Let's keep the party going!

Look what showed up in the mail! Considering how incredible they were to chat with about bad poetry I cant wait to read their good stuff!!! @djvorreyer.bsky.social and Devondra Banks.

Also found this book from @pintsncupcakes.bsky.social at The Raven in Lawrence.

Always love seeing guest's works out in the wild!! Spotted @taylorbyas.bsky.social twice while walking around Lawrence, KS.

I had more fun on this show than should be allowed. Hope it comes through in our conversation about my terrible poems. (Sorry, not sorry, Dave, for making you cry...)

We were privileged once again to have another amazing guest on our show. Make sure to give @djvorreyer.bsky.social 's episode a listen! www.mybadpoetry.com/s8e4

We had so much fun chatting with Devondra Banks for our latest episode. You will probably have fun too giving it a listen! www.mybadpoetry.com/s8e3

Somebody bring your bad poetry and hang out with these guys. It's fun!

Friends, we are in need of a guest tomorrow who can share their embarrassing poems (ones that should never leave the drafts folder) with the world... mayhaps it be you?

Always fun to find a guest's work out in the wild! Aaron sang this all last season with a choir and failed to connect the dots. But tonight he definitely recognized the lyricist!! Make sure to listen to Tony's episode that dropped yesterday.

We're Back! And we started this season with the lyricist Tony Silvestri. Probably best known for writing the lyrics to Eric Whitacre's "Sleep," but that barely scratches the surface. We had him on to share the less than stellar works... www.mybadpoetry.com/s8e1

Have bad poems in your drafts folder or old journals??? Please consider coming on our show! We are excited to be scheduling for season 8. DM us for a link to sign up! Return guests more than welcome!!

Just finished recording our first episode for the start of Season 8!!! (Also will be our 175th episode, but who is counting). Starting off with another amazing guest that you won't want to "Sleep" on. Keep an eye out for it dropping on Monday.

Friends it is once again national Bad Poetry day! How are you celebrating this joyous holiday? If you feel so inspired to dig up your old drafts, we just set up our recording schedule and sign up sheet for Season 8 and would love to have you and your bad poems on! #BadPoetryDay

For anyone who envies the sure thing of born knowing, Flowers reaches across indecision and reminds us that, for so many born in a world without options, awakenings are slower, and hurt that little bit more. @clemflowers.bsky.social

Well a delay at the airport let Aaron finish editing an episode of the show! This is a wrap for Season 7!! Excited to see where Season 8 takes us.... but for now... we look back with nostalgia. www.mybadpoetry.com/s7e20

Friends, it looks like the host and editor of My Bad Poetry is going to be at MSP airport for half a day (long flight delay)... if you're traveling though say hi!

Mitch is a perfect podcast guest! He has our highest recommendation.

If you have missed new episodes over the past couple Mondays rest assured we are still planning on bringing you the best of bad poetry... summers are just hard to schedule. Also we are getting close to scheduling for a season 8 starting in the Fall. So if you want to guest on the show let us know!

No new episode this week.. but we did get this new book! Congrats again @mitchnobis.bsky.social

Loved being on this podcast again, and Aaron and Dave are the best. Thanks, guys!

On the week of his poetry collection debut @mitchnobis.bsky.social dropped by to share some poems that... did NOT make the manuscript. Make sure to check out The Size of the Horizon, or, I Explained Everything to the Trees! open.spotify.com/episode/1WXV...

It's publication week for my first poetry collection. If you read poetry, you might dig it. If you don't but still want to support me and my press (the wonderful @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social), your library might want it.

A NAWP co-founder book is out!

New Week=New Episode This week we had not one, not two, but three new guests! Listen to the co-founders of Scribente Maternum as they share the many ways one could "write like a mother" + some funny kids' poems to boot! www.mybadpoetry.com/a-limerick-h...

Sorry for the delay, But we are "kind of" back today Next week will be new With guests too! Until then, we hope what you hear. May bring you just a little cheer. www.mybadpoetry.com/four-hastily... P.s. this mini-episode was inspired by "Dino Poet" a graphic novel by Tom Angleberger.

NAWP co-founder @mitchnobis.bsky.social also hosts this online reading & interview series w/a new season starting this week!

No Such Thing As A Fish & My Bad Poetry both dropped Socrates related episodes in the same week! Maybe somethings in the water... hope it's not hemlock.

Yesterday, I celebrated the release of @robertallenpoet.bsky.social's new chapbook Aphasia alongside Stefanie Kirby and Justin Lacour with a virtual reading. You can watch the reading here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmO4...

Was this how Socrates wanted to be remembered? Probably not but... this is what we got. open.spotify.com/episode/6BQK...

A new episode is coming tomorrow morning, that may be one of Aaron's favorite yet. Only because... well you will soon hear!

No guest this week. So Aaron found a poem from his freshman year of college... The title may be an grave overstatement. www.mybadpoetry.com/s7e16

Very funny podcast on the topic of bad poetry. 💙 I needed this humor today! #poetsofbluesky #poetry #poem @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed through an entire interview before, but @mybadpoetrythepod.bsky.social made it happen. Thanks to Aaron and Dave for the hilarious conversation about my old poems! www.mybadpoetry.com/a-prayer-cou...

No new episode this week... life got too busy... so why not go back into the cataloged of 168 episodes full of amazing cringe Wolf Journal or Guest material!! Do you have a favorite? Let us know! www.mybadpoetry.com/episodes/

De-lighted to have @alinaetc.bsky.social as a friend who visualizes the invisible 🖤

Getting to go back into the archives and talk about some of those earlier “bad poems” was SO fun!!! Listen to us joke about some of my earliest sonnets, and more!

We had a great time chatting with Taylor Byas this week! @taylorbyas.bsky.social Enjoy some not so stellar sonnets and an ekphrastic from Taylor's back catalogue. www.mybadpoetry.com/s7e15

We don't want to sound byased but-- our episode dropping Monday morning is taylored to be fun! Hmm looks like there are some type o' clues as to our guest... how did those get in there?

Had a blast talking with @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social! Let us know what you think! www.mybadpoetry.com/a-prayer-cou...

I’m so excited to nerd out about poetry and religion that I can’t stop thinking of more questions to ask our panelists! There’s no way we’ll get to all of them, but by God, we’ll try.

Let's hear about my horrible poetry...
