the things we catch

the things we catch ( hctac ew sgniht eht )

beams of solar rays
stones within a roaming shoe
gravel stowaways

rabbits on the hop
poems on a paper plane
busses at the stop

breath between the climbs
weasel schemes in missing plots
treason in the rhymes

feathers on a breeze
fodder of the bumblebees
pollen with a sneeze

sniffles & achoo
scribbles in a riddled key
music is the glue

bullets from a gun
drifts ‘n’ gists of blithered lists
rivers on the run

r e s t a r t s

r e s t a r t s ( s t r a t s e r )

ing the rectal bell

      in the dingle’s dell

dge a border’s line

      salt the seas of brine

s trike the iron plum

      ee the by of gum

oss another turn

     as the normalzzz burn 

mble on this track

      anoraks attack

ock the rolling hills

      ruffle feathered quills

wist a circle straight

      skating figure eights

wift in swooping loops

      sing til supper soups

otter osmosis

otter osmosis ( sisomso retto )

otter osmosis
smoking like a kipper tie
spotting tiger stripes

spotting tiger stripes
waddle when the penguins pen
with frozen pencils

with frozen pencils
we, the weevils weave a wave
sailing gravy boats

sailing gravy boats
but the buttress buttercups
dark snark harpsichords

dark snark harpsichord
harpies in a cable car
cobweb weatherman

cobweb weatherman
cousin in a custard can
otter osmosis

c a b b a g e s ( s e g a b b a c )

lumped in pissing patches

      cauliflower cousins

nagram of begs a scab

      apostles of the bat’s broth

etter fried than steamed

      brow beating laser brains

lending men with vegetables

      biblical blithers

phid magnets

      apophis’s fodder

reat year harvest cheer

      gargles in the garden

verything is spanners

      eat your bloody greens

tep aside & breathe

      sing ’em assunder

prune

~

prune ( enurp )

rhymer of moon
a spoon
a loon

rich in vitamin k

fruit of a tree
in me
a key

like a sprite in the grey

cousin of plums
the sums
of tums’

constipated delay

bustin’ a dam
a can
& bam

shit the timber away

may day not mayday

~

may day not mayday ( yadyam ton yad yam )

pinch another punch
this is not a sinking ship
as the morris dancers skip
rhyme the time of crunch

blurting on the fist
calendars ‘n’ caterwauls
bouncing balls ‘n’ rubber walls
vernal splurges versed

ribbon ’round a pole
seek a greener pagan grail
chase the spin of summer’s tail
prancing as a foal

gibbon on this day
under skins of onion sky
flutter like a butterfly
in the moth of may

gather knotted nuts
hedge along a pasture’s path
with a dog, a sack ‘n’ staff
as the pheasant struts

waxing like a loon
irk the needle – ink a scene
weave the scree of in between
’til the moons of a june

multiversal variations

~

multiversal variations ( snoitairav lasrevitlum )

twinned with seven twins
yet a single child

raised by snakes
& badgers in the wild

spreading buttercups
up all bloody night

mainly sleeping in
whisking wyvern eggs

other kitchenettes
under other suns

belgian bungalows
peking prefabs

blow a different nose
re-invent the anorak

poets run this shit
no one’s heard of poets

purple purrs the earth
as the planet’s puce

or a shade of beige
’til the unicorn wars

fly like hedgehog men
baths in ginger beer

fending off ten ton
earwigs with a spanner
