Three Day Girl & But, Mortals
A grammatical error misses the mark in more than one way this week as Aaron's old Wolf Journal entries finally try a rhyme. Dave and Aaron go off the rails towards the end with tangents on owls and salads, but what can we say...the hosts are but mortals. Also included in this episode, is potentially the longest context to poem ratio so far in the Wolf Journal episodes.

He Sat Alone
Dave and Aaron edge ever nearer to the end of the Wolf Journal this time with a prose poem that perhaps wasn't as celebratory as previous Aaron would have wanted for the page. Dave also brings back the potty humor with an inspired hastily written poem of the week.

One Calculus & The Only Island (w/ Richard Blanco)
Presidential Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco comes on the show to bring his less than stellar work. From "Emily’s Recurring Dream of a Failed Bridge" which was too long for the show title that is full of "—" in honor of Emily Dickinson...let's just say the concept failed to connect. Blanco brings along two other rough poems that eventually got reworked to great success.

The Awakening Sun
Dave tries to redeem his French in this weeks hastily written poem, but may have offended the entire language. Aaron tries to start a beef with Swifties?? Dave and Aaron discuss a brief word of relationship advice from high school Aaron. And just a little over halfway through the episode, we get to a halfway decent poem in the Wolf Journal?? Or maybe it just sounded good after all that came before it. You can be the judge.
My Bad Poetry Episode 5.20: "The Awakening Sun"
End Poem from a Real Poet: "Sonnet [This day when waking from pertubéd sleep]" by Luis G. Dato

To My Dearest Love
After an incredible streak of amazing guests, Aaron and Dave dive back into the pages of Aaron's high school Wolf Journal for what may be described as an Epistolary poem if one were generous. Dave brings "nothing" to the table with his poem of the week and Aaron may have brought to much. Also, if you are celebrating #NaPoWriMo maybe these failed lines could be generative for your daily work.
My Bad Poetry Episode 5.19 "To My Dearest Love"

Doppelganger, Scenes..., & Hibernation (w/ Frances Klein)
Frances Klein makes such an amazing return to the show that she may have out hosted the hosts. With three "new" bad poems from her past, Frances brings us through the stylings of a dictionary and thesaurus, with an uninhibited poem, an ekphrastic/found poem, and an add copy?? Oh Dave and Aaron were there too. (Also includes Tallulah's first guest bark.)
My Bad Poetry 5.18 "Doppelganger, Scenes..., & Hibernation (w/ Frances Klein)"
End Poem from a Real Poet: "The Angel Gabriel Says It's Not a Booty Call If He Doesn't Have G******s" by Frances Klein originally published in Peatsmoke Journal.
Frances Kleins newest poetry collection on dating the Angel Gabriel will be dropping in May! Her current chapbooks can be found through her linktree.

Customer Reviews
Hilariously informative
I have no clue when it comes to poetry, but after just one episode of self deprecating poetry critiques - I think I’m on my way. 5⭐️
