Wendy Watson Poet Free verse

The Lonely Plobawobby

In a pond beside a meadow
Where the slime and algae gurgle
Dwells a lonely Plobawobby
Lurking deep in murky waters.
There in sludgy weedication
All day long alone he shroudles
While the crested newts and leeches
Dragonflies and slimy slaters,
Wigglies, damselflies and skaters
Cresticate the water's riches.
But at night when all is silent
And no living thing is stirring
You may glimpse a Plobawobby
Slowly rise up to the surface
And upon a waterlily
Contemplate the sylphry moon.

Suzanne Delaney March 21, 2022 at 1:59 PM I do love the ‘Jabberwocky’ feel of your poem. Lewis Carrol wrote it and it is a famous nonsense poem. I think your plobawobby and he would get along famously. Congrats, SuZ

Christuraj Alex March 11, 2022 at 9:03 PM Great writing the lonely plobawobby. "Slime and algae gurgle" - is a unique expression. Very beautifully written. Congratulations!

John Watt May 5, 2020 at 12:47 AM I love your imagination here, Wendy! I love when people make up words and yours are fun and catchy. Love plobawobby, weedication, slurky, all of them - all with that Song of Hiawatha feel to it. Love it! Made me smile. ~ John Wendy Watson September 19, 2020 at 12:53 PM You have such a musical ear,John. It was exactly that epic poem which triggered off the rhythm for this offering! It isn't a patch on your amazingly wacky vogon verse!

Darlene De Beaulieu April 9, 2020 at 7:42 AM Hello Wendy Watson, I like the way your imagination worked in this poem. Be safe. Enjoy your day my friend. Wendy Watson September 19, 2020 at 12:49 PM Thank you for stopping by to comment,Darlene.

Craig Cornish March 31, 2020 at 2:36 PM Ah, this would do Theodore Geisel proud since you've used his calling card to perfection! Wendy Watson March 31, 2020 at 2:56 PM The Doctor rather than the physicist I presume!! Thank you for taking the time to read and leave a great comment, Craig.

Jc Hawkens March 30, 2020 at 9:24 PM You string these words together so naturally. I almost reached for a dictionary to see what a Plobawobby was. Wonderfully imaginative. Congrats. JC Hawkens Wendy Watson March 31, 2020 at 6:24 AM How kind of you to take the time to read and leave this lovely comment. Thank you, J.C.

Geoffrey Brewer March 28, 2020 at 6:15 AM Dazzling assembly of wild imaginative words and images, set in a convincing context. An absolute delight! Wendy. Wendy Watson March 28, 2020 at 7:42 AM What a wonderful comment to greet me this morning. I'm glad that you enjoyed reading it Geoffrey and greatly appreciate your time and feedback.
