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.

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

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

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!

You string these words together so naturally. I almost reached for a dictionary to see what a Plobawobby was. Wonderfully imaginative. Congrats. JC Hawkens
