This is Gibber-ish

This is Gibber-ish

A Poem by Esoteric Strand

This is gibber-ish,

just warning you.

Halfway to meaning something,

or partially saying something to

someone

who doesn’t get the point-

me in the direction of the suckers-

born every second-

hand strikes stupid.

 

Why ask:

why must there be-

more like your Mother-

who art in Heaven-

is missing an angel-

unbedeviled by the details-

is a magazine I don’t read-

in-between the lines-

I crossed, or snorted.

 

So I gave up

Just read the press-

1 for English,

your call is important-

to wash your hands before every meal.

Dollars and Sense?

Things not as they seam?

No-ish

Yes-esque

 

This is jabber-like,

blabber-like

Stumbling, mumbling,

bumbling, verse tumbling,

fumbling.  Maybe meaning:

“words with my troubles”

Empty thought bubbles

up top to a froth then

pops and says: look elsewhere.

Hah, I like this. The last stanza was my favourite, the half rhymes are what got me. Love them!

Your mind is full of excellent gibberish. It is a definitely interesting piece of myriad ideas all jumbled into one great piece of work.

I love the play on words in this piece. Some of it is understandable and some of it not so much. It is a unique and creative piece.

S**t yeah. This thing eats poems. This was three extended stanza's of utter phrases like "whatchamacallit" and "you know, its like..you know?
The Radiohead dollars and sense gives it a musical flavor, slmost saying, can't find it in song either.
Even the Chris Berman nod was tight.

This was a fun ride.
Nice work
