Challenge to write in the style of Lewis Carroll based on the Jabberwocky
Wingaroo
A salty day, winds awinding
Clorids peeping through the dew
Appeared a moment in the sprag
Then fast away it flew
Four droddy banding bounces
And the clavi call, "Klooroo!"
On a barsh of air all dithery
Up soared the Wingaroo
Where it had sconced emplod
'Neath galltid mup so weg
A single nup of porchid scale
The Wingaroo's solitary egg
Bereft of parent's ploofy pocket
The baby Winget cried, "Klee! Klee"
"Klooroo," returned the trilly cry.
"Hush, hush, or they will see."
The gritch of didgy footsteps
Passed close, souft and sny
The Winget housh and dawry kept
As the borkid tem tramped by
Safe time past, sunshine brilt
"Klooroo," the Wingaroo descended
Embraced the Winget's porchid scale
The dangerous flerm was ended

Challenge to write Found Poetry extracted from original sources
Alice
A simple tale in eager ear
they hear as days go by.
Children in a willing Wonderland,
dreaming as the summers die.
Alice, a boat lingering yet,
dreaming memories,
never seen, but haunts me still
beneath the paled sky.
Echoes nestle
in the golden gleam;
an Autumn frost drifting onward.
Life is but a lingering dream.
