| has gloss | (noun) nonsensical writing (usually verse) nonsense verse, amphigory |
| has gloss | eng: Nonsense verse is a form of light verse, usually for children, depicting imaginative characters in amusing situations of fantasy, whimsical in tone and with a rhythmic appeal, often employing fanciful phrases and meaningless made-up words. It is generally characterized by humor or whimsy and often features nonce words. It is closely related to Amphigouri (Greek amphi- (q.v.) + gyros "circle," thus "circle on both sides," or from Gk. -agoria "speech"), which is a meaningless or nonsensical piece of writing, especially one intended as a parody. |

| has gloss | deu: Der Ausdruck Unsinnspoesie bezeichnet die Gesamtheit autorisierter oder mündlich überlieferter poetischer Literatur ohne einen erkennbaren offenkundigen Sinn als den des Spiels, des feinen und groben Scherzes oder des Unsinns (man vergleiche auch: komische Lyrik). Die konkrete Poesie oder auch visuelle Poesie gehören nicht unbedingt hierher, denn Sinn der konkreten Poesie ist u. a., sich selbst darzustellen. Die Unterschiede bei den "konkreten Poeten" aber sind so groß, dass dies wiederum nicht für alle gilt. Ernst Jandls Texte, die diesbezüglich gelegentlich missverstanden werden dürften, haben oft einen handfesten Sinn, sind sogar politisch oder antimilitaristisch orientiert. |
