A Nonsense Sonnet

Hello Poetry Lovers

Welcome to the nonsense sonnet hour. The talented Trisha Broomfield has written a beautiful and tender nonsense sonnet that is truly irresistible.

I am envious because I do struggle with sonnets and like me, you will be glued to this very tender and inventive one…..

Nonsense Sonnet

A distant lighthouse beams strawberry creams

puffins in love share a Valentine’s kiss

dolphins, romantic, pen poems in reams

adders speed date, sip Chartreuse with a kiss

pink thrift glows purple with passion at night

seals bask in twilight, share After Eight Mints

seaweeds caressing tie lovers knots tight

lounge lizards entwine, speak softly, drop hints

seahorses surfing the net for a mate

molluscs, bivalve, eating spinach with cheese

seagulls play poker with chips until late

badgers dig deep in their pockets to please

beautiful life by the sea all the time

mermaids construct all their sonnets to rhyme.

Wasn’t that just wonderful?! So full of beautiful detail. Thank you so much Trisha, please keep them coming.

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. Is there a nonsense piece in you?! I suspect there is. Poems on a postcard please…..

  1. Cracking work by Trisha there …enjoy one of my unusual valid poems to prove my point that you don’t need to take any drugs to come up with something crazy…….

    A Truly Crazy Journey is a poem written by Andrew Evzona on 10th October (World Mental Health Day)

    The river is all the colours of the rainbow I don’t know whether I’m high or low I can hear so many voices around me But there is not a soul I can actually see!

    I thought I heard a tiger roar I really hope we are not at war I’m standing on the top of a cable car Trying hard to touch the nearest star

    I’m flying alongside a pink giraffe As I hear some gnomes start to laugh I need to eat melon, chips and jam I am riding on a never-stopping empty tram

    Just what has made me feel this way? Am I an actor in a surreal play? I slowly recover and start to think Did someone really spike my drink?

    Best Wishes,

    Andrew x
