Wargle

by micah on January 10, 2007

This is a poem I wrote a long time ago, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky.

:: Wargle ::

Ter-flin ter-flan
The Wargle goes,
To Frithy wilds
Where ninfrin grows.

Through ninfrin leaves
The Nambrone sees,
The Wargle creep
With pallor eez.

And from his place
The Wargle sings;
In skullish deeps
The music rings.

“Moran ellei
Nar silthin rillz,”
He sings to sleep
The drallin hills.

So under sky
Of star and moon,
The Wargle sings
His midnight tune.

Very nice, Micah! I like the background effects. They go very well with the poem.

I was just about to say the same thing! I like the crickets. I like the poem, too. It flows well.

The words have a nice sound together.

The beauty of “gibberish” poems is that if you need a word to be a certain number of syllables, be accented on a particular syllable, or just sound a certain way…you just make it up! It’s my kind of poetry 😀
