One Christmas at my parents I composed one of these on the refrigerator before going to bed. My sister woke everyone up in the morning with her shrieks of laughter. She could not get past my use of the phrase "my ugly apparatus". I thought it was a good poem. Still miffed.
Linsey twoot the above in 2018. Six years later Maya wrote this very similar poem, seemingly without crediting Lindsey. I don’t know if there is an older original poem or if Maya came up with it independently. It just seems quite similar.
Much worse. I’ve seen the one by Lindsey before and looked up how old it was and the first result was Maya’s far inferior (and probably plagiarized) version.
A literary past historic tense, these days only really used in poetry and if the writer is trying to sound archaic. The standard preterite tense is "twat".
Sentence structure, amount of feels/vibes per word (evocativeness), creativity in words/sentences (similes without becoming overly dramatic), how concisely the story is told, questions it asks, etc. It's not an exact science but compare this to something like 'there was a werewolf / and it howled / and was sad', you can usually tell the difference. It doesn't make you feel anything, unlike the many lonely nights of drunken dread OP has posted.

Definitely the answer. It means someone's trying to creep onto my territory.

You're a werewolf, dude. Fuck 'em up. Unless it's a whole pack of Black Spiral Dancers, then you might be in trouble.

Sometimes restricting our medium forces us to be creative (like old school game designers)

This is objectively very good though

Wouldn't that be subjectivity?

If it is open for interpretation, it’s subjective

U R right, "liking a poem" is indeed a subjective opinion
NickRivieraMD
but there can be objective criteria for 'good' writing. Like, I might like smut, but it's usually not good, if you know what I mean.
PicklestheFireCat2000
Sure, but by what criteria is it judged to be “good” or not?

By what “objective” criteria do we define “good”?
LunarEntropy
Subjectivity it's objective
snarkybitch
Subjectivly objective is an oxy moron.
TheRicM
Yes, it's an oxy, and don't call me moron
SirNinjaPirateBot
Eh what is or is not an oxy moron is subjective, innit?
