RE: Nonsense, as Inspired by Wood

in #poetry6 years ago

This post is what brought me to your blog - the image and the title, via AutoSteem. Interesting poem because of the word choices. If you were aiming a heavily alliterative effect, my opinion is you achieved it.

Thank you! My goal was to choose words for their sound and rhythm and not their meaning. I kind of tapped it out on my desk and chose words that sounded “right.” It was something that I hadn’t really done before. I’m usually not one to try to rhyme. I love the classic “nonsense poems” (like Jabberwocky, which was one of my favorite poems as a kid). It was actually for @freewritehouse, so it was done in less than five minutes.

Anyway, thank you for reading!
