The thing that many bad poets wish for is public recognition. I say give it to them in the form of The Crap Poetry Awards (hey, they have the bad writing awards which loads of people enter for, so why not poetry?).
The top 100 or so get their works 'published' - on commercially-sold toilet paper.

To kiss the froglet on the lips
She put him down, and hands on hips
She waited, but hope soon receeded
Despite the kiss she had bestowed
The tadpole turned into a toad

Or 'published' in the buses of the Greater Vancouver Transit system. |
|
| |
I'm referring to Bill Bissett, who had a poem published and displayed on the inside of one of the buses as a part of the transit system's "Poetry in Transit," series, which celebrates work from BC authors. The link takes you to a couple of his works. |

Yeah... my tax dollars are paying for that. |

oh, I submitted to one of those. But since I commute by car, they wouldn't take it. |

In London we have "Poems on the Underground" and "Poems on the Buses", and they're very good. Although they tend to be by poets who are universally considered very good poets. |

There was a young fellow from Hyde
Who fell down a sewer and died
Alas, his poor brother
Fell down another
Now there enterred side by side |
