You don't always "get" poetry when you first read it.

I almost never "get" poetry.

Last night in London Airport
I saw a sign on a bin that said: "Unwanted rubbish to be deposited herein."
So I wrote a poem and popped it in.

(From a poster in the London tube I nicked long ago.)

It's a play on Jabberwocky, yes. But I'm not intimately familiar with Joyce's or Carroll's work yet, so those two are ruled out.

no, but if you ever check out the oddity with words in finnegans wake, like 'goddinpotty' which takes two or three different words, sometimes whole sentences and paragraphs and puts them all together in either a very wierd phoenetic code or just bad sentence structure in it, the melting word thingy gets me going i guess...

Rach... I didn't understand that comment at all, aside from that it was rhyming with "Joyce". hehe

And cm666, yeah, I like that technique as well, especially in the works of e.e. cummings. But how does that relate to our posts or my poem?
