Serious Haiku, Nonsensical Verse
On a summer’s day
I write a little nonsense,
then lie down to nap.
I smell the water, dream of rain,
And think: “How clever is my brain!”
A window yawns, the waters stretch;
I think: “I’m glad I’m not a wretch!”
The mirror makes a tiny noise,
I lose my Self—and then my poise.

Each of your verses is a delight and made me smile … perhaps nonsense, but with sprinkles of truth!
Nonsense and a nap sound like just the thing when summer heat wants to boil off our skin.
I’ll take a little nonsense and a nap, thank you!
Nonsense and napping? Sign me up for both!
Ah yes, ‘the cruel looking-glass’ as Kipling called it.
I enjoyed your bits of ‘nonsense’.
That’s the best nonsense I ever read!
A Little nonsense and a nap I could certainly use ~ thanks, Xo

I like the thought, I don’t sleep good in the daytime so not for me. Good but silly for others.
Have you had the COVIS? Mrs. Jim and I caught in aboard a Transatlantic cruise and
it made Mrs. Jim sleepy all the time. Long COVID hasn’t relented on the desire to sleep.
Her breathing suffered also. I cannot smell or taste. Exceptions, a strong chocolate I can taste
and the early morning coffee brewing, even better than before??
BTW, you don’t teach English Gramar I hope. Google keeps wanting me to use more semicolons.

I’ve found little “nonsense” words or phrases lead to bigger things. Here’s to your nonsensical path!
