I once wrote a story that included a truly awful poem that I made with magnetic poetry. It not only sold, it got my first good review. Of course, the poem was supposed to be dreadful...
This poetry is supposed to be good--but I'm cheating since the part I'm including is described as a translation of the original, and thus any suckiness can be put down to a poor translation.
BTW, originally it was going to be longer, but after half an hour I realized that I'd already reached maximum suck with two lines and couldn't come up with anything else to add that I didn't hate. So now I have a poem fragment.

But I'm sure I did it (or something similar) back when I was writing poetry as a teen....
