Absurdity Embraced - Group Poem

 

Magical Tiptoe

 

Tiptoe through the tulips

silver gossamer with sparkly stars, crescent moons and long purple ribbons

constantly on the prowl

but the clever puss said ‘A ring is a must first’

standing stones stand deep

I will protect them with honey bees and wasps

and veggies with edge

memory flowers that come alive

purring softly under my wing

I am flying over an iced cake of snow capped mountains, dolls houses 

and a pool of Fox’s Glacier sweets

magical mystical movement

we sailed away today.

EMBRACE ABSURDITY AND PLAY WITH THE WHIMSICAL  

IPTN facilitation with Ger Campbell PTP

Saturday 13th February 2021 from 2.00-3.30pm

 

Nonsense verse combines poetic form with meaningless language and creates a mix of the normal and the absurd.

Explore the concept of nonsense rhymes which can evoke humour and bewilder us in equal measure. Come prepared to toss logic to one side and immerse yourself in the realms of possibilities.

Join us and allow your imagination free rein. Forget the serious side of life for a short while and allow yourself the gift of play.

Come join us virtually for an afternoon of poetry therapy and fun.

€15 or €10 IPTN Members
