I would not have known until I started to write some references to poetry and Lenexa, Kansas, but someone seems to have cornered the market on corny poetry in Lenexa. Tom Zart has over a thousand nearly identical poems on PoemHunter. OK, I was going to let Tom off the hook, and then I kept reading, and I hope someone gets Mr. Zart some help soon. Here's a list of 40 of his poem titles so you don't have to bother looking him up further until your American flag is up outside your house.

Tom is now claiming to be the most published poet on the interweb. You and a middle school girl from Northbrook, I guess. I assume Tom is one of those extra-loud people I see sometimes at the Lackman Library who need help understanding simple sentences, but I am proud of him for writing what he feels, each and every day. That takes a lot of dedication and government subsidies.

I apologize, Tom. It's just poorly-written poetry makes all writers who claim to be poets look bad. And your poems will make any fifth grader believe it's a snap. And then the Hillary smoking pot poem is almost exactly the same as the Donald Trump poem, and I wonder how many of the "1,1335" poems are copies of one another. Dude, just step away from the keyboard slowly so no one else gets hurt.

Also, Tom, I almost feel bad telling you this, but maybe it will make you stop: Gert Strydom has a free ebook on the same website as you that offers 4628 poems, which makes your 1300 or so poems seem tiny, and certainly not the most available on the web. And his poems seem pretty decent.
