Nonsense.
Gibberish,
Who pays attention?
Who cares?
Nonsense,
Gibberish,
Buyer beware.
Okay, the moon is pink.
The sky is yellow.
Darth Vadar
Is very mellow.
The day is night.
The night is day.
The wombats and
The chimpanzees
Want to play.
Squirrels eat bananas.
Donkeys eat grapes.
Giraffes love to dance
With swinging apes.
Nonsense,
Gibberish,
You see the point.
Nothing makes sense
In this ridiculous joint.

Is this your first time writing a poem? Seems pretty good as the words don't rhyme and there's plenty of rubbish strewn around. I guess you achieved your purpose as you've said it's a nonsense poem. Did you think you could get a lot of responses?

I have written many poems. This poem was intended to be nonsense. Nothing more to this.

I like the play. 'Buyer beware' prepares us for the shock waiting in front of us (assuming the buyer is the reader), the shock comes in the middle part and makes you raise an eyebrow, but the line 'you see the point' reminds us what we're reading exactly. A small circle (rather an oval that culminates on the 2nd part). You can connect the ends and read again, nice :)
