In ceremonious calls:—
‘First burn a blue or crimson light’
(A thing I quite forgot to-night),
‘Then scratch the door or
walls.’”

If you attempt the Guy.
I’ll have no bonfires on my floor—
And, as for scratching at the door,
I’d like to see you
try!”
“The Third was written to protect
The interests of the Victim,
And tells us, as I recollect,
To treat him with a grave respect,
And not to contradict

Well, that was fun. This is my favorite kind of poetry--namely, anti-poetry, meta-poetry, and complete absurdity. Oh, and of course it has to rhyme!
A quick sampling of my favorites:

These poems are just hilarious and entertaining. Well, most of them. I thought two or three weren't that enjoyable because they didn't rhyme so well and / or were too cryptic to be fun. However this book is probably one of the better collections of poems I've read in my life.
My favorite is A Sea Di
Not my favourite collection of Carroll's poetry, but 'Phantasmagoria' is quite possibly my favourite, and so I enjoyed this quick read.
Lewis Carroll is clearly a very intellectual poet, who writes interesting and amusing stories whilst keeping to his own nonsensical norms. This collection contains some very good poems which are very very enjoyable to read, which is what you want! My copy is one placed at the back of a hardcover of
Che gioiellino. Etichetta spettrale 101.
The title poem was excellent and quite humorous. The other poems were not as exceptional but there was enough dazzling wordplay and rhythm to hold my attention. The illustrations were good, too. All in all, a solid read. I would have enjoyed it if Carroll had written more about ghosts and the supern
Although prose is usually clearer than poetry, Lewis Carroll's poetry is clearer than his prose. This little book of poems contains what may equally be called whimsy and nonsense; it also contains humor, clever satire, and some beautiful lines ("the vision of a vanished good"). Highly recommended fo
Leer este divertido poema de Lewis Carroll en el que un hombre es visitado en su casa por un risueño fantasma, me llevó directamente a recordar a otro famoso espíritu: a «El fantasma de Canterville», de Oscar Wilde, pero con distintos finales para cada caso. Otro punto interesante es que aprendí a c
Este libro sí me gustó. Disfruté mucho conociendo la ardua vida de los fantasmas que nada tiene de fácil ni de económica :)
