Nonsense is nonsense

Just practicing Anne....

 

 

 

 

Nonsense is nonsense

 

 

When was the last time you fell in the water

Drank from a glass that was christened with wine

Jumped on a mattress of Hollywood fodder

Snuffed out a candle before it was time

 

Ran in a circle with never an ending

Sat in a chair where the arms were too tall

Straightened an accent of far eastern trending

Dialed a phone without someone to call

 

Climbed up a hill that was flat as a table

Sang in the key of an unopened lock

Found that your nightmare was only a fable

Started to roll but forgot how to rock

 

Wrote out a poem that everyone hated

Hid in a corner where spiders would play

Answered a question your heart had negated

Rented a room but had no place to stay

 

These are just words of a mind without sleeping

Some are confusing and some they are not

Please do not ask why this poem I’m keeping

There is no reason or I just forgot

 

Sometimes this happens and words start a’ flowing

Making no sense but it isn't a crime

Anne did the same with her practice piece showing

Just a collection of words that may rhyme

 

I have been known for the love I have written

So I must add a few lines that are true

This may be crazy, but know I am smitten

Nonsense is nonsense but I do love you

Wrote out a poem that everyone hated
recently Jack. recently.

[Blue]

I'm amused by your cleverness, Jack. I enjoyed this comical side of you and just when I thought it has no hint of romance whatsoever, you disappointed me in the last line. The good kind of disappointment, anyway. Well-written! Made my night. ;)

[Jack...]

Well you know me Blue...I had to get it in there somewhere. I am excited you enjoyed this.

[Cassie]

mmmh....I was waiting to see the significance of the heading and boom!!!! the ending of it show it. Good job sweet friend

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my sweet Sunshine.

[Rita L. Sev]

Started to roll but forgot how to rock... Oh, no! LOL! This is a flowing, frolicking bit of nonsense, Jack - I really enjoy this side of your writing!

[Jack...]

Thank you Rita. Just having a little fun.

[fountain-pen3]

I love it so much!
It is really creative and made me laugh!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much. I appreciate your visit today.

[Jennie Baron]

How very sweet! I like the lighthearted and, may I say mischievous but sentimental tone.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much Jennie, I am happy you found a chuckle in this one.

[Mollie Fitzner]

OK Jack! I love this. I am still new on the site, but perhaps this is my best read so far. Your rhythm, meter, rhyme scheme is just how my Mr. Lee (in 11th grade) would have wanted it. Wow! (and I hate that word) ....so great that, may I copy it on some cool looking paper, frame it, and put it in my computer room and even add it to my collage in my classroom and of course put "by Jack?" Let me know! Ohhhh, how fun..just adding to the goodies...jeans today, Friday, I am covering a lab today so no teaching and someone whose actions I do not love is absent today (adult, not kid--love my kids!)

[Jack...]

Please be my guest Mollie. I am thrilled you liked my little bit of nonsense today. I appreciate your kind thoughts and comments.

Ha, I love this - yeah, I have one that's like this -- I might send you a request. It is such a drag to search my stuff, I posted so much. Been kind of tapped out -- choking on venison lately.

[Jack...]

That's okay my friend...just let me know. Thanks so much.

[Anita Singh]

Oh this is such a cute and adorable nonsense!! This nonsense made a lot of sense to me! Loved it.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much my friend.

Such ironic vignettes you have painted in this poem Jack. Sometimes you don't have to look for irony it finds you.

[Jack...]

You inspired me on this one Anne. Not the nonsense :) The rhyming practice. Thanks so very much.
