Question

"Jabberwocky" is a nonsense poem. It is essentially meaningless, and many of the words in the poem are made up. However, by taking away the actual meaning of the words, a reader can focus on the musicality and sound of those words.

Write your own nonsense poem. Write ten lines using made-up words about a nonsensical subject. As you are writing, focus on the sounds that your made-up words have, and how they affect the feeling of the poem. Your poem does not necessarily need to rhyme, but should have a sense of rhythm.

Answer 2

Oh what time

do we have

in our hands?

Moments we made,

or perhaps fate

allowed.

We all look like

sand, escaping

the land.

And we say we

are unique

but we are the same

in different dreams.

And we are lonely,

miserable and depressed

the land was these things

but I digress.

So what if space

allowed infinite

into our eyes,

but we pierced

it with seven knives.

And created a box

to be inside, and we

blamed the big companies

for what we lay down

and die.

And we ask what time?

Life is ours to have,

all belongs to

our second thoughts

that children

take in.

That the holes

made the light

seem brighter.

Than the world

we see, dim.

But from my point

of view, nobody lives.

...and we only drift.
