A poem inspired by Lewis Carroll. |
Galunking with the Poppets Feeling cubey, I went to the park today just to watch the poppets play. The adelic gardens were in bloom, with peeonits they were festooned. A fountain starled in bright sunlight as Ohno birds circled in flight. The poppets galunked in their play leaving beavos strewn along the way. The jairce breeze relaxed my mind but soon I had run out of time and so with a smrown I said farewell leaving my fantasy to return to ... well, it's a word you know but I won't place in an "E" rated poem Notes: Just for fun - an entry in Week 15 of "Poetic Exploration" [E] With full inspirational credit to Lewis Carroll whose wonderful Jabberwocky first got me interested in the world of poetry....
