Nonsense poetry
The term nonsense poetry denotes the totality of authorized or orally transmitted poetic literature without any recognizable meaning than that of play , fine and gross jokes or nonsense (compare also: comic poetry , nonsense poems ).
Concrete poetry or visual poetry do not necessarily belong here, because the meaning of concrete poetry is u. a. to represent oneself. The differences among the “concrete poets” are so great that this again does not apply to all. Ernst Jandl's texts, which may occasionally be misunderstood, often have a solid meaning and are even politically or anti-militaristically oriented.
Nonsense poetry has its origin in the childlike world of rhymes, is often expressed in puns and also flourishes in sophisticated poetry. B. in the drama of romance .
Nonsense, joke and joke poetry found widespread use printed in the flying leaves of the 19th century.
