Funny Poems
Peculiar Poetry is a collection of short funny poems for teens and adults. The poems have been variously described as really very funny, and very nearly poems, symptomatic of a deeply disturbed mind and laughable.
The collection is diverse in both style and subject matter, including clerihews, parodies and shape poems on subjects ranging from alopecia to xenophobia. There is lighthearted poetry for teens about the angst of adolescence and adult poetry, both funny and serious, about love, life and the universe.
The breadth and quality of the site has been enhanced by the engagement of Paul Curtis as our first poet in residence. Paul is a writer of rare talent who has contributed over 200 funny poems to the site, including collections of funny sports poems, twisted funny poems and dirty poems, together with his seminal series of short poems about love, death and sex. Paul is also a prolific writer of romantic love poems.
As one reviewer famously put it, 'Peculiar Poetry combines the comic talent of Karl Marx with the intellectual genius of Groucho Marx.' So expect funny poetry that is always wry, often witty, sometimes dark or dirty. Expect the unexpected...
