Stuff and Nonsense

Given the mood in my country over the last month, I wanted to steer today’s prompt in a more lighthearted direction. Art doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful. Sometimes a smile or even a full belly laugh can be more healing than somber contemplation.

I’ve created three nonsense words I would like you to incorporate in your poem: 
snarfdiffanous, rhambangle and lalamilty. 

If none of these words tickle your muse I invite you to make up a nonsense word of your own. The goal is to use them to create something that feels innocent or child-like. And if you can be a bit silly or funny, it’s a bonus.


Remember, this must be a new poem created for this prompt. Do be sure to visit your fellow poets. I look forward to reading all of your poems.


A little ditty from the master of made up nonsense 
to get things going
