Written by Lewis Carroll, it appears in <em>Through the Looking-Glass<\/em>, the sequel to <em>Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em>. The poem\u2019s playful use of invented words, combined with a fantastical narrative, has made it a lasting favorite.<\/p>\n<p>Carroll\u2019s mastery of language shines through, and readers are left to use their imaginations to interpret the meaning behind the whimsical creatures and the heroic battle.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Jabberwocky<\/strong> by Lewis Carroll<\/p>\n<p>\u2019Twas brillig, and the slithy toves<br \/>\nDid gyre and gimble in the wabe:<br \/>\nAll mimsy were the borogoves,<br \/>\nAnd the mome raths outgrabe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeware the Jabberwock, my son!<br \/>\nThe jaws that bite, the claws that catch!<br \/>\nBeware the Jubjub bird, and shun<br \/>\nThe frumious Bandersnatch!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He took his vorpal sword in hand;<br \/>\nLong time the manxome foe he sought\u2014<br \/>\nSo rested he by the Tumtum tree<br \/>\nAnd stood awhile in thought.<\/p>\n<p>And, as in uffish thought he stood,<br \/>\nThe Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,<br \/>\nCame whiffling through the tulgey wood,<br \/>\nAnd burbled as it came!<\/p>\n<p>One, two! One, two! And through and through<br \/>\nThe vorpal blade went snicker-snack!<br \/>\nHe left it dead, and with its head<br \/>\nHe went galumphing back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd hast thou slain the Jabberwock?<br \/>\nCome to my arms, my beamish boy!<br \/>\nO frabjous day!

Carroll\u2019s language draws you in, and despite the nonsense words, the narrative structure creates a tension that builds toward the climactic battle with the Jabberwock. It's always a joy to bring this playful work to life!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This post is part of my <em>100 Days of Poetry<\/em> series, where I embarked on a journey to record and share 100 poems over 100 days in 2017.
