Funny Poems & Love 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 teen poetry 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 recently been enhanced by the introduction of a selection of guest poems. Paul Curtis, Peculiar Poetry's first poet in residence, is a writer of rare talent and his initial contribution includes over 150 funny poems, together with a selection of his romantic love poems, which range from tender, sensitive first love poems to sensual, sexually charged erotic poetry.
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...
