Poem, or: Inglenook

Mine inglenook not of this earth 
Found not in book, nor by the hearth 

Mine kooginnel it changes form 
Chooses, refuses to conform 

Mine negloonki of verses spun 
Of metaphor and playful pun 

Mine nielognok for me by me 
Put simply, it's my poetry

      1. :>)

2. I definitely mistook those as some kind of code language for names of the boys in BTS band xD

   1. Yeah, I’m not that clever, Shruba 🙂

   1. Cindy, d’Verse really provides me with a lot of inspiration – I’m loving their prompts!

      1. So glad to hear that! It’s so much fun hearing what you all come up with in your very own voice! ❤️

         1. Thank you for your support 🙂

            1. Absolutely!! ❤️❤️

5. Inglenook is not a term I was versed with to the point I thought it was a nonsensical word. What a fun poem. Even learned a new word! Thank you!

   1. Until I saw this prompt from d’Verse, I also did not know what an inglenook was 😀

      I love learning new words!

      Recently, I played with words that contain all of the vowels in order, and I learned a lot of new words that way too: https://skepticskaddish.com/2020/12/12/a-e-i-or-u/

      Thanks for the kind comment, Robin!

6. […] A quadrille on the theme of the inglenook, suggested by DVerse. Hat-tip to The Skeptic’s Kaddish. […]

7. Why not! Creative poem and fun word to scramble and twist. I suspect you could have carried on with many more versions and lines. 😆

   1. Heeheehee… yeah, I had more in me, TBH… but I was limited to 44 words!

      -David

8. At first I was looking for a glossary but soon realized what you were doing. I can see where your poetry would be just that for you. Nicely done!

   1. 😁

9. This was so fun… love where you took it, a new encyclopedia.

   1. Thanks, Björn 🙂

10. I think your poem makes perfect sense! The inglenook (creative space) in your mind changes form, doesn’t all of ours? I find new inspiration in different things every day. Life would be boring otherwise! 👏

    1. Thanks, Tricia 🙂

       Yeah my inglenook is all over the place!

    1. Larry,

       This one here was my ultimate ‘nonsense’ oeuvre:

       Chutzpah, or: Vorpal

       All best,
       David

       1. David., It’s really good. . I always try to expand upon other writers’ work too.

          1. I love ‘nonsense’ poetry 🙂 – there’s something liberating about it!

             Thanks, Larry!
