’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.'
This is a piece taken from Lewis Carol's "Jabberwocky", one of my favorite poems of all time. Even though the poem is written in gibberish, with words from Carol's own imagination, it still manages to convey meaning and capture a strong tone. Poems don't have to make sense to be enjoyable.
Write your own poem in gibberish, but try to capture a certain tone, funny, solemn, urgent, mysterious.
If it has a rhythm or meter, all the better. But most importantly, have fun! 100 coins to the winner.
Glophus
To the other side of Vro
The gelliwunks did go
Grewbing slagins up the sides
And doobins in the slo.
But when the frambit haught
A kiddington was sought
And nothing ventured over flit
Was anything it ought.
So when I hallied zan
A distican began
Starting in the wallifus
And ending at the shan.
And I’m sure it won’t happen again!
