An amphigory is a piece of nonsensical writing in verse or, less commonly, prose.  It often parodies a serious piece of writing.

When it comes to writing nonsense verses or poems, I Like Somkritya‘s   Insane zone best. If you are unhappy, depressed, or in a bad mood just go and read one of her poems and you will come back chuckling.  If you want lessons on How to write a nonsense poem just click on the link.

                                                                                           I have always wanted to write a short poem

a poem that will be chihuahua’s small

will have seven to eight  lines

and not be complicated at all

not bound by bold or italics

or words that will make it too tall

but then I was struck by a thought

a thought which came with a huge pot

that if I write a poem so small

how will the giraffes read it!

They do have a long black tongue that looks purple 

and their saliva is antiseptic says Dr. Curple

but that won’t help them read my poem so small

giraffes are all about big and tall

so sitting on a lime

taking a lot of time

 I wrote a poem

which was big

and the giraffes read and liked it.

but now cats don’t like me at all

My

nonsensical

verse

Rolling stones

Rolling stones gather no moss.
But you cannot say  that
they aren’t at a loss.
Always rolling,
makes their life a big mess,
Also in bargain
they get a sore ass.
