what NoNseNse!

is for Nonsense verse

Nonsense verse is humorous or whimsical poetry that resists conventional interpretation, often using coined words and written targeting children.  Lewis Caroll and Edward Lear are two very famous names here.

No rules, just pure fun.  Here is my first with coined words:

With ten mune nolet that jarroped the vode,

gruddied and huggled the primist but plautwell.

For squish simmerlaked, the plaby grimode

henroaches of tristew locked paleud and crenel.

Revenhoe the barrush ludding bilode,

revenhoe the felish groudent psychelle.

And rho in nucket frippen teleclappode

dellinged slideways flaryn heave and foundel,

avit shipe gribbed colite by nematoad

theep was newit chumbler and charmelle.

Revenhoe the barrush ludding bilode,

revenhoe the felish groudent psychelle.

But if you prefer your nonsense rhymes to use regular language, here's another with everyday words:

lose every verse by reverse osmosis

nothing’s served hoarding lines no use at all

bend distort huddle and sort into bliss

shuffle and roll struggle-hold pencil scrawl

online offbeat ring side seat street and mall

filled to brim empty grim whittled gray ash

from ghost towns floats around your world is small

the cars are large tiny stars shiny trash

take it out and the mote don’t touch the lash

who said it’s dead? no you don’t scratch at backs

not polite try to write a bit less flash

go where you want! make sure you don’t leave the tracks!

whine and feud too subdued? just turn them up

rinse repeat drink then spit and stir the cup
