radishes & raspberries  (  a  p o e m  )

…

radishes & raspberries

cabbages & cavalry

horsing on

in snort & swan

canter clops & basketry


freckled specks & friaries

pheasant peck & spidery

phantom scrawls

on tattered walls

in the inns & libraries


twiddle toes & rosemary

ribulose & groceries

ticking lists

in mists of wisp

ants in pants & hosiery


adder tongues & alchemy

ladder rungs & rhapsody

clanging bells

in wells & spells

forest floors & canopies


sunken suns & tumbleweed

drunken nuns & bumblebees

buzzing by

in buzzard skies

bubble burst & summer breeze


colonnades & colonies

orangeade & socrates

scratching heads

& snatching veg

podded peas & broccoli


lemon tea & leprosy

levity & sesame

cracking safes

& smashing plates

eccles cakes & melody


otter toss & blackberries

totters off & tapestries

weaving yarns

in sleeping barns

sneezing stars & galaxies
