"Calamitous Poppycock", is an extremely well-written and deftly descriptive piece. This talented poet has, with craft and well-honed skill told it as it is. This is a six, but I'm never given enough of them! I look forward to seeing your next post.

Thanx so much, Duchess, -- always enjoy hearing from you over here!

Take care and have a wonderful weekend,
the Duchess :)))

I find this charming and with many words that can mean many things. The artwork is beguiling a catch pool of emotions and sights... Really find this entrancing and worthy of thought given. Very good poetry from a fine poet.

Why do I sense meaning in this nonsensical muse? I especially liked the second stanza. Life is one big fish bowl, is it not? Sigh. Love the artwork you chose!

Well this is a lot of nonsense as the prompt requires, YM. Even with that, you still incorporate several technique of poetry writing--alliteration, rhyme, and imagery. Thanks for sharing this bit of nonsense that is well-written. Respectfully with Love, Jan

Comment from Thomas Bowling
You met the requirements. This is certainly a nonsense poem.
For example: Blue and brushed pink - not much, I think,
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Comment from Earl Corp
This is the first nonsense poetry entry I have read that I feel is actually a poem. It has rhymes, makes sense, and flows well. Good luck in the contest.

Good morning, Earl, and thank you for your review for my 'glamorous gibberish' .... it's my very own version of Jabberwocky without so much made up words! lol! Appreciate your taking the time and have a great day!!
Comment from Jerome Goldberg
Great poem. Since I worked while earning an engineering degree my resonance to this poem is based on dreams; but, I enjoyed it and wish you well in the contest.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is cleverly rhymed and full of dreams and mystique and a bit like Alice in Wonderland as that always seemed nonsensical, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

It's more of an emotional Jabberwocky without the made-up words...lol! Thank you for your fun review, Dolly!
Comment from CrystieCookie999
I think this is a lovely poem. Here are my favorite true nonsense lines: Whisp'ring bamboo comes wand'ring through
'Midst my chagrin and mussed sheepskin.
The rest of the poem is like a whimsical Valentine poem. I think the art reminds me of surreal art. This is the kind of poem that could be entered in more than one category. Very nice.

Oh, Crystie, you are wonderful!! I call this my romantic's version of Jabberwocky without so much made up words! Seriously, I just took a general emotional train and jumped on board with the internal/external rhyme for each line (keeping the train on track with word choices was a bit more of a challenge!) -- glamorous gibberish, I'm calling it and I'm so glad it made you smile! ;) If it does well, I may try a few more! Thank you for this awesome review and those shining stars!
