Cat Is Also A Chick (nonsense comp)

entry picture

 

Who is knocking at the door?

Can’t you see I’m not at home?

Only yesterday you come

We shall eat for breakfast rum.

                  

Glass is crawling on the wall,

It is wooden like a brick.

Let it crawl, let it fall!

Cat is also a chick.

                    

Brick is crawling on the wall.

It is hairy like a tram.

Let it crawl, let it fly!

We don’t need that reddish tie.

                    

Now a camel is on the wall.

All its knees with tar it washed.

And a horse, being lovely squashed,

Eats the sun seeds on a ball.

Goody young lady, this is comment 20. What's been going on? Enough of that - your verse (with the picture of a chicken-cat!!!)
Odd to say the least Larisa.
Ta much, Nick

Dear Isobel, I like the idea that our poems will be read and judged by a 12 year old girl.
Without knowing the author she will be more objective. Children are more sincere and
feel more the jabberwocky than most of the adults.
When I was a child it was my favorite game to compose the jabberwocky. When at school
on a piece of paper someone wrote a sentence, another one had to write anything he or she
liked but rhyming with the previous phrase. The result was very funny. We enjoyed it.
Now I understand that it’s an intellectual child’s play promoting development of children.
The benefit of these poems is clear: any deviation from the norm more strongly reinforces the child's normal, and it is even higher estimates its strong orientation in the world. The words carry their own unique vibration quality in such poems The initial nonsense is still forming emotional and perceptional sentences within the subconscious.
So, the teachers that give a task to write a jabberwocky are very intellectual. They understand that it develops mental, logical child's ability and a sense of humor.

What a lot of stuff and nonsense! I'd love you to win. Unfortunately, we are all prey to the whims of a 12 yr old - how fitting is that?

Hi Larisa.

Keep calm lovely lady.
I know you do very very well
with the English language,but sometimes
it can be difficult.
I have always praised you for trying so hard
to cope with it,and you will definitely
get better.

I used to struggle with how to put poems
into competitions.
What you need to do love,is look for
the word 'tag' below,when you have finished
your poem.

In that box
write the name of the competion
then click on 'add your entry'

in that way
the poem goes into the actual competition
category.

I will never,ever be offensive to you love
but take it from me
that M.C was trying his best to help you.

It is soooo easy to missunderstand sometimes
what people mean,I have been guilty of that
loads of times.

Any more problems,feel absolutely free
at anytime to ask me
and I will always do my best to help.

The very best of luck with the competition
and give McCoy a kiss from me!

lots of love.

Stefan

I know quite well this English saying (I mean "fellow poet") But I am not another poet like you. And don't want to be like you. Do you understand me?

And it's a pity that an effort to help a fellow
poet led to unintended confusion and misunderstanding.
But be assured - it was well meant.
Good luck.

My dear M.C.! It's a pity that you discuss now the tags I have to use but not my poem.

1. Do you intend your latest poem to be an
entry in the WOL Nonsense Poetry competition?
Yes or no?
If yes - then you need to include the correct
tag which is "nonsense comp".
If no - then ignore my messages. It may be just a coincidence but your latest poems with
the word (competition) indicated that this might be so. I wanted to show you that they
would not be accepted without the correct "tag" which you may not have known about.
That's all.

By the way, mysterious M.C. Do you take part in this "nonsense comp"? Just curious as any woman.

I don't understand your "good" intentions. I don't understand anything , as I've already said before, in your message. It looks as...I am a fool.

Dear Larisa - I think you misunderstand my good intentions. If you wish to enter your
most recent poems in the WOL nonsense competition <as suggested by (competition) by
your title>, I merely wanted to advise you that
the full tag required was missing. Of course,
you may write as you please...that is your
concern, not mine.
Good luck.

I didn't understand anything in this message. Could anyone explain it to me? As far as I understand I can do and post anything I like. If someone understands me it's good, if not then...it's his or her problem but not mine.

Dear Larisa - if this and your other poem are
meant for the WOL competition - the tag is
"nonsense comp" if I remember correctly. If not, then ignore this message.
