nonsense poem

A nonsense poem is a playful and whimsical form of poetry that uses nonsensical words, unusual sounds, and imaginative imagery to evoke humor or wonder. While it often defies logical meaning, it emphasizes rhythm, rhyme, and sound patterns to create an enjoyable experience. These poems may feature fantastical characters or absurd situations, encouraging creativity and imagination. Nonsense poetry is valued not for conveying clear messages but for its capacity to entertain, surprise, and stimulate linguistic and auditory enjoyment. Famous examples include works by Lewis Carroll, like "Jabberwocky."
