And yet another poem from my now out-of-print speculative poetry collection...
"Wondrous Gobbledygook" published Apr 2011 in the webzine Aphelion, Oct 2016 in Altered Reality Magazine and Feb 2022 in the scifi fanzine HimmelSkibet (in Kenneth Krabat’s review of Peter Graarup Westergaard’s poetry collection Warning Light Calling).
Wondrous Gobbledygook
By Richard H. Fay
On a wonderful Nagoogoo morn,
While the bumox skip across the fwa,
I strum the strings of my zidipip
And slowly sip a gurgle burgle
Beside the pink waters of Baffbee.
On the puboo of a keckleschmeck,
I spy a blue-green fuguwordle
Crawling upon an etafal leaf.
I pluck a crimson syton flower
And place it in Zabugana’s hair.
On a glittering Nagoogoo night
Wududolons wing across Phreetum
And the violet shlubiyemps sing.
A gentle breeze blows off of Baffbee
As Zabugana lies next to me.
