I love this fogcat - totally fun!
mark hearted this
These are spectacularly fun.
Thanks Mark and kaye! Very glad you enjoyed them. It was great fun putting images to the poems and seeing how they were developed. I think illustrated nonsense is easier to read that nonsense all by itself. ( :

p.s.I wrote them originally for a nonsense poem collection here: http://www.protagonize.com/poem/no-sense-from-p-to-j-a-glob-of-nonsense-poems

Thank you so much everyone! I'm glad you all enjoyed this little 'glob' of poems. Does anyone else here have poems on storybird?
@gabiza: You've picked out my very favourite line too! And thank you for your compliment. ( :
-Foggie
I love it
so cool it is so nice i love it
odd
I'm only a Kid
Thanks @room12stars and @coco!
And @Caitlinm... well, yes, it is rather odd. But I guess that's nonsense in general: "odd." I happen to be a big fan of nonsense, being prone to sing loudly in nonses when in the shower and being quite fluent in gibberish. So I like writing nonsense poetry. ( : And some folks like reading it too!

I loved your poems strange but they made sense or non-sense to me..lol
FogCat- I find people sadly lacking in the lost language of gibberish. After all, how often have you heard people say, "don't speak nonsense!" I, for one, am glad to see that you have revived the great art of nonsense. After reading your poem, I said "O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" I also chortled in joy. [Yes, this is a reference to Lewis Carrol's "Jabberwocky" poem from "Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There." I think Carroll- who, one could argue, might be named the King of Nonsense- would be pleased with your poetry.]
@Zibbycomix Haha, yup! glad this made you happy. You know, after I wrote some of these poems, people mentioned Lewis Carroll, and I think someone even explained to me that the whole nonsense poetry thing had already been done. Probably, but just about everything worthwhile has been done more than once, don't you think?
-Fogster
FogCat- I agree, just because something has been done before, doesn't mean it shouldn't be done again! I think the more nonsense poetry, the better. =)
That was an awesome storybird!!! I love it!!!
This is really good :)

this book is my insprasion in book riting and poem writing but do not look up my name I have not published anything yet. I am just a newcomer.
I have a poem, it's kind of short, but you can read it if you like!
Thank you lindsay, SBS, Chugga and story_bird!
And thanks booklover, I'm glad this has provided some inspiration. Welcome to storybird!

I LOVE the line about "sell my past for pennies to buy candy at the fair!"
klashbaugh hearted this
My sister thinks its bad but I think its good.
Junebug hearted this
Great detail and everything do you have a strategy to writing stories and poems.
-JJ
@klashbaugh: thanks! That's my favorite line, too. ( :
@aimen1 Well, I'm happy one of you enjoyed it. nonsense poetry probably isn't for everyone. Say 'hi' to your sister for me if you read this.
@Jordan: thanks! Strategy? Well, I think the advice nearly ever writer would give is the best advice: write lots and read lots.
I'd also recommend getting someone (like a teacher or parent) to read your writing and help you make it better. Eventually, you should read some books about how to write or take some classes (which is what I've done.)

this book is fantastic.
storyfanatic hearted this
That was globerific. I'm a pretty good writer but I seem to have trouble with storybirds. My best one is Jenny's Journey and I posted it to Facebook.
When I saw "The wookies are howling", it made my day. :)

That was great! You're an excellent writer and rhymer! Storybird is really lucky to have a writer like you.
dtwilight
-p.s. I have made a book called 'The Locket Part 1' and so far no body has commented. Is it alright if you could read it and if you think I need a bit of help, please tell me.
Aww, thank you very much dtwilight. You're very sweet. I went and had a look at your story and left a comment there.

This is soooooo cool! I love all of your stories! Don't forget to read mine and comment them too everyone!!!
-D :)
Wow! I love your writing! Whenever I find a fun wrighter I go through and read all of his/her stories! Do you have a secret for writing so good? Are you, like, a published author or somthing? If you are/ were I will/ would totally read your books! I am so glad I came apon your work! This pieces of art really made my day! I especially like your "I swallowed Myself". It had very awsome detial and I loved ow about every other page it went "thump- wiz!"
niki2i514 hearted this
o. btw. the third poem was my favorite!
Aww, thanks niki, and thanks so much for reading a bunch of my stories and commenting on them. It means a lot to me. As for your questions about me/my writing: Nope, I'm not published, if you don't count online and my college's literary journal as published.
As for the quality of my writing, there are a swarm of better writers than me out there, but writing only gets better by practice practice practice. Actually, you'll want to read lots, and get some good feedback on your writing from people you trust to give you honest criticism. That helps too. But lots of writing and reading are a tried and true way to become a better writer.
So write on, my friend!
-FogKitten
Lewis Carol comes to mind! In fact, I just recently recited "Jabberwocky" at a concert at school! Love your stories! This one is a favorite!
This made me smile and giggle! It has a really good flow, it sort of had a beat to it! I caught myself tapping my feet as I read!
Thanks so much Fog! I saw that you commented on my story birds, well, I have more! I added a lot of conflict! I hope you comment on them! I also fixed the really really bad spelling on Ashpet, whoops! :)

I LOVE this!! I was under the false impression I had read all of your stories. I was mistaken. You are a wonderful author and poet!
I really enjoy reading youre books fogcat. You must be famous on storybird by now! Ive never met so many peeps who want the same career as me- writing! It makes me really happy to see writing put to proper story use! Thanks for the great books and you totally deserve to win every competition! Just remember that I have a book thats quite new and I really would appreciate some comments. Thanks fogcat again!
luminiere hearted this
Those were really sweet poems, FogCat! Much better than mine, and always will be. I loved them all.
Ahh, thanks Lluminiere! You've just found what is probably my favourite of the storybirds I've written.
And thanks figment68! (though I see you wrote that comment ages ago). I'm glad you enjoyed this.
