Ingrid Showalter Swift Poet Free verse

A Dollup

A dollup
A trollup
A mole and a troll
Free spring it and wing it 
             …reach for the loftiest goals

A habit-ish hobbit
with a knob and grommet
is wearing a rakish sneer

All grasping and gobble
 foam and fobble 

Listen! 
and you can hear

A rabbit…"Gosh nabbitt!"

A frog and a log

…all frolic, bucolic in the wondrous bog

All foggy and noggy
And wet noodle woggy

   …The Farmaduke start to caw

Mystic Rose Rose September 2, 2023 at 8:02 AM perfectly rhymed :) Ingrid Showalter Swift September 2, 2023 at 8:12 AM :) Thank you. I enjoy these poems. They write themselves

Silent One August 21, 2023 at 10:23 AM Such an interesting use of words with your own unique word weaving... Ingrid Showalter Swift August 21, 2023 at 10:30 AM Haha I do have fun with nonsense poems. I actually wrote this one a long time ago. I found it in a folder I knew I'd never published it Ergo Voila
