~
spring a song of sixpence ( ecnepxis fo gnos a gnirps )
…
hocus pokes a poet so
frozen inner-rivers flow
yawning thawing warms the air
yonder hop the boxing hare
as the croaking crocus frog
uppercutting ducking fog
quacking like a muddled hen
beans the stalk of morning’s pen
spooning light in sparkling eyes
under shooting starling skies
‘pon the gleaming, greening leas
spinsters catch a frisking breeze
stirring stagnant kitten spit
winters ship is in the shit
serpents circle, buzzards hum
brambles bursting bubblegum
minstrels mince in just a thong
rabid badger bang a gong
blossom blossoms, truckers truck
butchers butcher, pandas fuck
…
