For fun, I wrote an entire manuscript of parody poems in this style and made an IG for them. Got a few thousand followers within about two weeks. It's silly how popular this style of poetry has become, even when you're making fun of it.

You can't recreate the meme. It happened organically. An anon noticed the first few posts looked like one of her poems and turned them into a fake page from one of her books. Another anon had a screenshot of the posts and responded to someone posting the aformentioned page by posting it (but he was too retarded to know how to put them together). Another anon put them together.

LOVE AND LOOSE CHANGE

my pop-tarts are $2.99
but i have only 53 cents

the cashier is stern
do i have some other way to pay

if society only taught us
to open our hearts
he would let me pay with gratitude

but gratitude is not
viable currency
these days
it appears

i grab the pop-tarts
and make a dash for it but security

catches me at the door

there is so little love
in the world

REVENGE

on the day he
left me
i went to his workplace and
found his car in the parking lot
and scraped my keys along the side

the scar was deep and ugly but not
as deep
as the scar in my soul

then i remembered
his car is blue not red

please forgive me
red car owner

i am a woman of passion

in my position
you would have done the same

EMPLOYMENT

my gardener
has stopped weeding
and is resting

his back hurts
and he has to work such long
hours
for such low wages

employer and employee
what stern words they are
how can we be truly
human
when we must fit these roles

i like to think
that if he could
see into my heart

he would work for nothing

SISTERHOOD

leaving the restaurant
i passed a table
on which someone had left a
$20 tip

the waitress was busy
and had not yet come back to clear

that $20 bill is in my purse now but
it's in her purse too

we are all one
we are all women
we are all human beings

when i return to that restaurant
i will smile
at the waitress

because we are holding hands

although

she does not know it

Starts well, but should end with a few lines about how the tempestuous rage of a woman is always justified and part of a natural and cosmic harmony rather than an apology.

READING

in the library
i am reading a mystery novel
until —

five o'clock

time to leave, they
tell me (quite
sternly)

i still have two pages left
and i don't have my library card with me

never mind

i have a pair of nail-scissors

back home i take the last two pages
out of my purse

when i have read them i will not throw them away
they will be where someone
loves them

i think of it as taking two children
home from an orphanage

an orphanage where they were ignored

we can all make the world a better place

one page at a

time

you know I used to always write in full sentences, properly capitalized and all that
now I don't bother. I still capitalize I since I don't like the look of a lowercase i alone and I still use apostrophes since they can change meaning in places but that's it.
