why the title?
— Ananke
ooh. wow. i get this. it would be incredibly painful to explain how i get it (for me and for you...my vocabulary is kinda big, but it's not big enough, lol) ... but i do. and it's good.
the title...er. yeah. wha? lmao. well, from my dictionary (who's powers are useless on this website) i looked up jabber and talkie. i got...a movie with a [gibberish] soundtrack. the movie with a soundtrack being a talkie and gibberish being jabber.
i take things way too literal sometimes. only when they make no sense to me when i'm thinking unliterally.

love. last five lines make floating candy goodness inside my bellers.

I understand your point, but I don't know how effective your execution is. There are so many useless, filler words in this poem, and they make it sound pretentious. I don't know why I should care, and seeing as though it is your job to make the reader care, then I'm going to have to assert that this poem falls short of its intentions. Sorry to be so blunt. Also, the third stanza is incredibly weak in both verbs and nouns.

read "jabberwocky" and then come back to this poem's title with some newfound sense. " 'twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe..." i adore lewis carrol.

This is great. jabberwocky was brilliant because the story was told despite the words. This is rather more of Tolkein's "gollum" with inhertings and wailments - but the story is told. I've given it an 8!

there is something about this that I completely and utterly understand, and there is something about this that I will never fully comprehend. And I think I'm ok with that. An excellent job.

Ffenomennenal! It's not deep to me, but it's well-written. The cunning linguistics are appreciated on this side the computer screen.

a fun poem with words that dance almost off the page (or screen for that matter)
two thumbs waay up!
— Underground
I love it! Especially lines 1-4. I really got something out of this.
— AtomBombJohn
this is pretty good. i even forgive the made up words, as they are all composite words.
the only things i'd do to it would be: adding an apostrophe in line 9 (wheeze-diggin') and using a comma instead of a colon in line 10.
— aerol
