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. 27.03.20 Inky Dinky Parlay Voo Poetry Contest - sponsored by Caren Krutsinger N/A (1 original, poem on the theme of anything you want but you have to make up some silly words and throw them in without explanation of what they mean)

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!

Ah, this would do Theodore Geisel proud since you've used his calling card to perfection!

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