Bad Songs-giving
Aaron's sister delivers on a hope first expressed in episode 5.1 "Not Long Song...Not Long," providing audio files from a cassette tape in Aaron's past. Dave and Aaron take a break for the Thanksgiving Holiday but not before taking a listen to these never before shared "songs" from a piney-whiney high school Aaron circ. 2008.
Warning: amateur emo piano ballads may cause unexpected ear bleeds and/or thoughts of grumpiness.

My Bad Poetry Presents: Board Games with Luke Wortley
Though originally cut for time, this boardgame conversation seemed to interesting to leave on the cutting room floor. So during this extended winter break My Bad Poetry decided to drop this special bonus mini Boardgame episode that has nothing to do with poetry whatsoever. Enjoy! Luke Wortley used to be a featured guest/co-host on the Game of Thrones Card Game podcast The White Book (named for the log that chronicles the history and roster of the Kingsguard in A Song of Ice and Fire series)...
Winter Vacation Bloopers/Outtakes Season 5
For our podcast's "proof of life" during this extended holiday season, enjoy some bloopers and outtakes from the first six episodes of Season Five. Special features include: technical difficulties, general distractions, tired hosts, and a lot of extra laughs with Lannie Stabile...
Spring Break Bloopers!
Co-Hosts Aaron and Dave took the week off to focus on their day jobs.
Enjoy a compilation of the tangents, distractions, and strange takes that just didn't make the cut for a "normal" episode.
This episode features the vocal stylings of previous guests Trapper Markelz, Shiksha Dheda, Madeleine Crowley, jason b. crawford, L.M. Cole, Court Ludwick, and Aaron's daughter...We think a chuckle from Nicole Tallman may have also snuck in there as well...
episode 1: Not Long Song... Not Long
Welcome to Season 5! Dave and Aaron turn the page in the Wolf Journal to find a new genre of highschool Aaron's writing... lyrics. While this song may have tried to describe the immeasurable feelings of young love, the length of the stanza quite short. Or not nearly short enough according to Dave.

episode 2: A Reason
Another failed song from the pages of the Wolf Journal has Dave all kinds of frustrated. Too short, bad rhymes, toxic message, these are just a few of the reasons the hosts came up with...not to love this one.

episode 3: The Devils Playground
Sickness could not prevent this podcast from being recorded. Though maybe it should have... Dave and Aaron continue to work through the uncharted lengths of the latter pages of the Wolf Journal. What hellscape have they stumbled into? Listen along to find out!

episode 4: She Is...
Dave and Aaron return to their normal format after the Thanksgiving break just as previous Aaron seemed to return to his (rather unfortunate) normal form. The hosts get to brush up on the now classic "toxic masculinity" critique to see if slightly older high-school Aaron has matured at all. While Dave saw a glimmer of hope in a few lines of compassion, Aaron couldn't get past the cringe.

episode 5: Shemjaza, [...], Glass, & Misiones (w/ Luke Wortley)
Content Warning: The final "bad" poem does deal with a death by suicide. Covering 34'-40'. _____ Luke Wortley tries a bold strategy coming on the show, which is exploring tangents long enough to never actually get to any of his "bad" poetry. Even his first poem distracts the co-hosts with the painting the ekphrastic is describing! Nevertheless, poems are discussed, from garbage to mitigated garbage, ending with a beautiful prose poem that is very good...
episode 6: Forty Ounce Magnum (w/ Lannie Stabile)
CW: Some references to abuse made throughout the episode.
Lannie Stabile makes her triumphant return to the podcast as its "secret third co-host" with more rabbit holes as well as physical proof of future material (seven journals worth in fact!). Dave and Aaron are regaled with tales of theatre camp, pig fests, and spelling bees, that somehow are tangentially related to the bad poem she brought to the show...
