august caws  (  a  s e a s o n a l  j a u n t  )

…

toad the ode of twinkle toes

in the key of even' flows

squawking on the cusp of dusk

chatter chaff & utter husk

toad the ode of twinkle toes


jabber as the adder doze

spew the shat & adipose

as the pigeons plot a coo

& the parrots cockatoo

jabber as the adder doze


bumble on in bungalows

blow the boat & row y'nose

as the spider weaves a web

& the tide it seeps an ebb

bumble on in bungalows


twizzle as the thistle blows

whistle 'til the woodland snows

dragons snap as orchards soar

daggers dance as badgers roar

twizzle as the thistle blows


shit a brick & sniff a rose

topple walls of dominoes

fingers slip as bushes burn

flop in songs & fronds of fern

shit a brick & shit a rose


august caws & august crows

autumn snores - but summer knows

spring is spinning in a stream

ripple run & river gleam

warble swan as water flows

...
