cosmic codswallop ( pollawsdoc cimsoc )
…
cheddar-clever crake
chasing carrot cake
catching crystal’s ball
caterpillars crawl
cotton commissar
catalytic car
churlish chaplains cheer
cabbage cavalier
cornish cousins comb
caesar’s chromosome
curdled custard cats
castle caveats
cauliflowers crowd
caterwauling cloud
cluttered clarity
catapulting cee

this poem was raised by badgers ( sregdab yb desiar saw meop siht )
…
this poem was raised by badgers
this poem is agnostic – but fingers crossed
this poem contains nuts & gluten
aspartame & martian d.n.a
this poem quite likes marmite
this poem is not your long lost uncle
this poem is friends with the gingers
& topples down statues on their behalf
this poem has sixteen nipples
seventeen elbows & forty four eyebrows
this poem is not a windmill
a harpy or a harpsichord
this poem is neither a witch doctor
a doctor or a witch
this poem claims to be shower proof
but would probably drown
in a cloudburst

the harrying of the norm ( morn eht fo gniyrrah eht )
…
panic is a planet
piffle on the snooze
weasels feed the gannet
lizards twisting screws
pantomime & trifle
tripe is in the air
flight is like a spiral
inner spins the hare
salad in a sandwich
pickles cruise control
clatter traps the cabbage
muzzles mute the soul
fodder for the fecal
scrawl a waterfall
flea the sheeple people
nature shakes us all
irk the serpent’s slither
& the adder’s dance
knickers in the river
ants in underpants
scratch beyond the sniffle
fill another ditch
whistle in the drizzle
ink another itch

fog of a wander ( rednaw a fo gof )
…
fog of a wander
hillocks & pillocks
flap with the phantoms
mist is a vista
sheep in the creeping
clouded & shrouded
sprawling the moorland
morning is crawling
tors as a turret
finger & fumbles
sleep of a grey daze
hiding the skyline
i of the sodden
plodding a circle
moving with music
humming a sun
…

in a month of sun daze ( ezad nus fo htnom a ni )
…
in a month of sun daze
paper planes & runways
rivers spin the oceans
poetry in potions
puzzles for the monkeys
overgrowth in undies
see the evening chorus
fly upon a walrus
fishes in the thickets
sticklebacks & wickets
eggs within the scrambles
tangles in the brambles
libraries in lockets
feathers in y’ pockets
sandwiches & picnics
double duck & dipsticks
peas in lemon cheeses
breezes in the sneezes
pebbles in y’ gum shoes
as the blither unscrews
scrumping fruity faces
ratatouille races
laser brains & gun rays
in a month of sun daze
– phew

when i am turqouise
& androids are vumklap
six seven the kloptrip
i’ll wear a mauve shell suit
eleven ten flobus
they’ll be back in vogue then
like scrumping for berries
in hedgerows on venus

jammy dodgers snore ( erons sergdod ymmaj )
…
bats within the brain
boxing frogs & hare’s the air
wide awake again
rise & shite a light
river shine, the moon in bloom
sleepless is the night
piss another drink
satellites & candles bright
ink a kitchen sink
sail a lunar sea
bubbles fizz & scribbles fuzz
buzz a bumblebee
britain’s mitten glove
badgers, stars & handlebars
marmalade above
scale a hill – or tor
hark, a little owlets howls
jammy dodgers snore
dripping droplets sweat
dot the dots as foxes trot
like a sloth on ‘phet
rove until the spun
spirals spider spanner stuff
doze beyond the sun

kicking sleep ( peels gnikcik )
…
kicking sleep in twenty twenty
see the phantom sniffles flap
pantomimes in formless august
muzzled flocks in morrisons
faceless wraiths upon the buses
tremble like an autumn leaf
bee the breeze & sing a winter
greener than the frogs on mars
lark the herald bellends knelling
shrew the spew upon the snooze
sisyphus’ spawn is crawling
clasping straws & falling down
roundabouts the ground is shifting
doggerland is rising now
london bridge is underwater
swimming with the seals & eels
see the fog of misted vistas
twist the gift of sinking sand
anti’s pro if pro is anti
so the global scrotums yoke
choking chickens, spanking gibbons
bend the knee & be a mug
sipping tea – the blend is bendy
kicking sleep in twenty twenty
…

eater of whirls ( slrihw fo retae )
…
stone the prose, crow a caw
burn the key, spurn a door
phantoms forms interpose
catch a cloud, scratch a nap
flap aloud, dance a map
clattertrap twinkle toes
mist the bus, fog a dog
spanner man, analogue
box the frog, frozen flows
quizzes swish, ask anon
river run, kiss a swan
topple on dominoes
flippin’ eck, bugger me
chicken necks, shrubbery
bumblebees up me nose
( embers glowed, onions wept
roses snowed, petals crept
overslept undertows )
…

p.s
corona is a scam
& anyone that thinks otherwise
is a fucking mug
