gloam sweet gloam  (  a  p o e m  f o r  s u n d a y  e t  a l  . . .  )

…

jumbles jump the mumble

jungles jinx the jingle

nutters span the attic

witches in the grindle


dashes slap the stumbles

clashes tap the cymbals

crackles whip the static

squirrels in the dingle


apples pip the crumbles

grapples swine the swindle

manic pipes the magic

bristles in the brindle


fondles feel the fumble

tonsils speak the lingual

woven weaves the fabric

spoken rungs the spindle


stomachs tum the rumble

thunder thumbs the thimble

warbles fright the rabbits

dawdles sprite the nimble


adders snake the rundle

ladders shake the twinkle

haddock hicks the habit

havoc spits the simple


draymans toast the trundle

ravens crow the wrinkles

roses sniff the plastic

noses whiff the dimples


petals fluff the fungal

pebbles rough the shingle

staggers trawl the traffic

stutters stall the dwindle

...
