Jabberwocky Comment by M.S.

I like the poem Jabberwocky because of the way the words sound when you read the poem out loud. The poem paints an image of a strange, mythical creature with  "jaws that bite" and claws "that catch!".  The use of the word "beware" suggests that some of the creatures - the Jubjub bird, and the Bandersnatch, are creatures to be feared, along with the Jabberwock.  "Slithy toves" sounds like something descriptive, but I'm not sure what, perhaps talons.  The image I picked is unusual like I think the Jabberwock would be.
