I am best known for light, flash poetry. In this day and age we need a little nonsense. As the Great and Powerful Wonka said (via Roald Dahl), “A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.” So this is where that will go.
Many ideas here come from conversations with people I have met in various places and asked for a word that then becomes a poem.
