Fresh from discussing bad poetry with a friend (there is a mountain of it out there) I add more of my own to that mountain in response to Sammi.
It’s bad (worse than normal, even) but it is 66 words, as required.

Wish you were here
So unclear
Where do we stand together?
One-night stand
I understand
Can it be forever?
You alone?
Should I phone?
Rather than a letter?
Is it too late
To communicate?
Will it make things better?
Wish I was there
But do you care?
Life is such a struggle
A brief affair
It’s truth or dare
So to you this note I smuggle

Great poem, and great graphic about the parts of a letter! 😀 They have something like that on the wall at the post office, but it’s parts of an addressed envelope!
I love the reference to truth or dare! People should play that more often, in my opinion. While drinking.

Oh, yes. Heavy drinking enhances all such games. Nude twister works well, too.
Never went to junior college
But family piss-ups gave me knowledge
Playing with my older sister
Truth or dare, then nude twister.

HA HA HA! Nude twister, oh my! 😀 Now there’s a poem! And the family that plays nude twister together stays together! 😀 I love rhyming twister with sister!
Truth or dare would also make for a great poem! 😀 Oh, you know what else would be fun? Playing truth or dare with a lie detector stolen from the sheriff’s office. And yeah, with liquor too. Now that would be a real humdinger of a good time!

I wish I could do bad poetry as beautifully and whimsically as you. x

Ha ha! Not much whimsical beauty in there …. not even much poetry … but exactly 66 words! Accuracy is the enemy of art.

At least I could understand it which is more than can be said of some poems written by some celebrated rhymesters!
My 66 words!
