"I always liked
nonsense verse and story poems.
I always liked bright wordplay
and marvelous imagery. (…)
Poetry was always
a wonderful game,
the magical juggling
of rhythm and rhyme
and sense and sound."
~ Michael Patrick Hearn,
in The Place My Words are Looking For
I've always liked nonsense verse and wordplay, too. I have great admiration for any poet who can play that wonderful game -- juggle rhythm, rhyme, sense, and sound perfectly -- and come up with a magical result.
