Today’s offering is in the form of a kaleidoscope of oddquain butterflies. If you want the “answers” to the mysteries of each, go to the bottom of the page.
Bjorn is today’s host of dVerse’ Meet the Bar. Bjorn says:
Write a narrative nonsense poem.
A few points to remember:
1. In the style we are doing we are still telling a story. It is clearly narrative and not
gibberish.
2. The characters and their actions may seem absurd or playful, but what they do make
sense in a nonsense way.
3. It is fine to use invented words, but it should be clear from the concept if they are
creatures, things, or even verbs.
1.jambalaya
2.strawberry shortcake
3.raisin bread french toast
4.hot cup of herbal tea
5.soup
