Well... I REALLY didn't need to learn GlyphGryph's secret blank page fetish.

Went out - Basket bought, wicker
Empty.  Why? Baskets hold, hold things
But this one is empty.  Why? Why?  Why?
Threw it out, bought new basket. Empty!

How's this sound?  Used a binary noise generator, then broke it up randomly into lines and made a few subtractions and additions.  It's certainly stilted.

It needs more vulgar references. This island is supposed to be free from the tyranny of society, right?

Also, my poem was really just combining the artistic trends towards increased use negative space and the trend towards the vulgar and titillating, both as ways to functionally fight against the traditional rules of society. The page on which the words appear is the empty page to which it refers, and the poeam derives its power from the metaphor, and the constant references to pulsating manhood let you know this guy means business and sets the feeling of the poem, casting the emptiness of the page in an ambient light.

Is it very bad that I actually like it? It sounds nicely shizoid if you recite it quickly in an annoyed sort of way.

I think you really need

at

least one word inexplicably split onto its own line.

Another try.  I don't know why I'm so fixated on wicker fucking baskets.

A wicker basket on a stand
Is red in the way that a door is.
Red, that is.
You open it to find:

A single Vogon stanza.

Eternity quivers in the kringus of the moon's slepty glor.
My rhombus spins a lovely gryptic pore.
A chagda spills a rumbip black drop.
And wimba brimba timba prop.

There was a user from Bay12,
Who decided to dig, nay delve!
For ages and a year they mined,
Missing on the way, the well signed
Doom that was theirs, Fey elves.

I'll have a go at this.

"The Most Distinguished of All Written Works in Rhyme and in Prose, or The Bad Poem (Oh Noem!)"
by Gnorm

There once a wee' ole jolly poet,
Pollockity-crockity schmockity clock.
He would write a good one, yea' you know it,
Sporkockity-atrocity Larmarky Tromboky aronsome poshity big crowing-cock!

The gay lad took a swig from his hip flask,
Pollockity-crockity schmockity clock.
Which caused his poem to be filled with a confounded rhyme and rhythm structure in addition to such utter nonsense words such as: "Poppypask,"
Sporkockity-atrocity Larmarky Tromboky aronsome poshity big crowing-cock!

His third stanza
was rather
queer, as one
could
perhaps say. For it seemed to follow
no
form whatsoever
and simply wandered wayward like
a
wild
boar on acid

This poem is done; wasn't that fun?
Sporkockity-atrocity Larmarky Tromboky aronsome poshity big crowing-cock!

I think that I have just hammered out the worst piece of doggerel in the history of mankind.
