Dear visitor,
Poemhunter will be at your service with its brand new design and features.
We believe you will have a better poetry experience with some of our more useful and additional features.
New additions soon to be revealed here include: -
The Points Grabbing Poets Corner Of Shame.
This new attraction is where poets who are found guilty,
Of rating their own poems are forced to wear a dunce's hat,
And have to stand in said corner for at least 24 hours.
(time decreed by us depending on repeat offences) ,
Without food, water and toilet facilities.
And any access to pornography.
We have also factored in the widespread spammer/troll problem.
With another forward thinking modern feature,
We're so proud to label: -
The Piranha Corner.
Our new, innovative and most deadly feature,
We're sure all existing members will warmly welcome,
And will quickly establish itself a much needed godsend.
It works quite simply that when a wicked troll,
Or cowardly spammer is traced through their computer IP address,
And kidnapped by our hired goons and poetry loving thugs,
They must venture to said corner.
(or we set the dogs on them) ,
Where a shocking surprise awaits them.
A concealed trapdoor.
We think you can work out what aquatic demise awaits them below.
We here at Poemhunter already gave this one a trial run,
And we're truly overjoyed with the ghastly results,
And any over-bloated piranha we sell on ebay,
At a high price and are always in demand.
We also make a handsome profit from.
Thus keeping members, ourselves and above all,
Our bank manager happy.
Progress is our motto here at Poemhunter.
Where we like to play for keeps.
We hope you enjoy your time with us.
And wish you all the best.
(unless you're a points grabber or troll) .
Have a nice day and keep smiling!

Absolutely brilliant Shaun...you've really made my day with this corker of a poem! I simply adore the highly original concept of the Piranha Corner! ! ! If only the organisers of this site were that inventive. Then again, even Heracles, who cleaned the Augean stables, couldn't purify this filthy, worm - ridden site...best leave things to the piranhas I guess...metaphorically speaking of course. it's certainly a very sardonic and funny five from me.
