Bad poetry

I remember when
words were giants
every book was a burden
but lovely, kept safe from the rain
read beneath the shelter of
all of my hair and my heavy eyes
just learning to live
in their aquarium. My talking organ
is so small now
I only squeeze through
what slender questions remain.
Some of you are still giants.

I didn't perceive this as bad at all.............

quite the contrary. I found it to be unique in its particular voice. Almost otherworldly. I've always enjoyed poetry that doesn't fit the norm. Please tell me a poem of yours that you feel is good and I'm sure I'll love to read that one if this one you denote as bad. Now, I'm curiouser and curiouser. Thanks for sharing the unique flavor of your poetry. Sincerely, Melissa Lundeen.
