Not really 'bad', but... Kinda boring. He used really wordy words... No one really wanted to sit through them, they were rather corny...
 
I think it was become William was just so... He was a dork. He would've gotten annoying, I'm sure, after a bit of time.
 
His poems were'nt bad. I agree that they were wordy, but it's "the feeling behind them" that really counts. There was a lot of emotion in his poems, which made them very likeable.
 
'Likeable'? Eh.... That's rather strong. I can put up with them, just because he's so adorable... Probably because they were about Cecily they were so bad. Cecily was a be-atch...
 
I consider William's poetry as endearing as I do Angel's dancing! It might not be perfect or "flowing" but it still touches the heart! 🙂

I voted that he really was bad, although there's something almost awe-inspiring about the type of horrendous forced-ryhme poetry that would rhyme "effulgent" with "in it". Yeah, it was awful, but it's the type of humorously overblown, self-important poetry that is best when written tongue-in-cheek by someone who gets the joke. And I'm with Chas...there's something endearing about that.

Can we all say "McGonagall"? I think he was the inspiration for William's poetry - see here -

Certainly the Brit comedians of the sixties held a special place in their hearts for him - that's where I first encountered him, as probably did Terry Pratchett - see "The Wee Free Men"

In the words of Morrissey - "Frankly, Mr Shankly, you write bloody awful poetry..."
 
I dont get his poetry, using words i donno what they mean but i said no, they didnt really go to my heart at all.

LOL...I agree Chasity 😀😀
 
I love poetry and I adore his writing. I don't see how it's too wordy. I think it's beautiful. (Just like Angel seemed to have. 😛 ) It was part of his innerworkings as a man in love. Pure and true. I would kill for someone with such heart and passion to write such words to me. He truely did walk in worlds that others couldn't begin to imagine.

Or maybe I'm just obsessed...but either way, I love what he is.

LMAO! Thank you, Mr. Pointy! I just checked out that site and read The Tay Bridge Disaster . . . awesome! Horrible, but there's a certain loopy Ed Wood charm that warms your heart. You've gotta love someone who compensates for a lack of talent with boundless enthusiasm!
