I Write Nonsense

I write nonsense

I write nonsense, just silly nonsense,
Yet if you look deeper within the lines,
Sometimes, Just Sometimes,
It’s a statement of modern times.

Touches of Irony and scepticism, 
You will find in subliminal verse.
But do not take it to seriously,
Even if it sounds a little terse.

I often write when I’m happy,
and occasionally when feeling tense.
But most of all, I just pen for fun,
I write nonsense, just silly nonsense.

Excellent poem Kevin, I certainly believe nonsense plays a big part in poetry writing, brings humour which brings happiness to the reader and I love it. Keep them coming. :)))

I can relate to every single syllable you have written Kevin. I mainly write humour but just occasionally there is a more serious poem that flows from my pen:-) hugs Jan xx
