#2 Wednesdays at Winklings

There are seven stanzas to the Jabberwocky poem by Lewis Carroll.

 

http://www.keithlim.com/jabberwocky/poem/jabberwocky.html

 

I, Lyndon, require participants to write another seemingly nonsense poem of six stanzas in a very similar form. There should be method in your madness!!!!

 

Therefore you should have a rhyming poem of six quatrains (24 lines).

 

If a good friend of yours would love to do this, too, invite him or her to join Winklings.

 

With this fine group, I do not have to warn or DQ anyone and that is a wonderful pleasure for me.

 

Naturally, this is a fresh poem for you, I would have thought .  

 

As the pretty waitress in "Le Relais Bressan" says: 'Enjoy!'. She cannot speak French. :))

 

THIS CONTEST IS FOR WINKLING GROUPS ONLY! HOWEVER, NEW MEMBERS MAY ENTER.
