red ahead

red ahead  (  daeha der  )






howling out - laser rays

bouncing cheques, letters daze


apples crisp, pepper bells

china's yoke, pimpernels


dancing ants, liquorice

flies in eyes, snapping fish


cross upon england's flag

spiderman's lips in drag


twisting tides, bleeding seas

breezes blow raspberries


santa's claws, cheeks or toes

even skies spin the close


camouflaged life on mars

cinnabar, life on mars


red ahead, robin breasts

rushing blood, throbbing heads


...




































 

from hare to where?

~

from hare to where?  (  ?erehw ot erah morf  )






bugles blooming, crumpets blow

wickets stick - the grasses goose


nutters dust achoo 'n' fro

gassing ash, a splash of spruce


tinkers taper, tailors sew

cloaking oak - the woodlands squall


pickled poets piccolo

verdant verse, the curtains scrawl


breezes sneezing, roses glow

cabbage flying, catkins purr


pipers pan & sparrows crow

crickets chirp - the thickets blur


as the rivers mistletoe

cygnets ring from hare to where?


frog beyond the blossom snow

croaking odes of over there

...























































 

the song beyond

~

the song beyond  (  dnoyeb gnos eht  )






the pollen pecks, the sneezes blow

a southerly & petals snow


a pheasant struts, the robins nest

the eastern beasts, the wets of west


& polar flaps are phantoms here

as ants are dancing in the clear


within the pants of breathing air

a floating stoat, a weasel there


with crows above - the grass beneath

is gleaming green - upon a heath


the gorses bloom, the brambles thirst

a chorus calls between the bursts


the song beyond the shrouds of grey

another cloudless april day


the rain's in spain or timbuktu

& england bathes in shades of blue

spring rolls

~

spring rolls  (  sllor gnirps  )




spring greens

winter's leas

bushes brown & budding trees


spring snakes

down the stairs

larks in march & sparks the hares


spring boards

trains & planes

clouds around & april rains


spring fourths

fifths a sixth

like a rhyme & picks up sticks


spring ups

flaps away

jumping jacks the month of may


spring rolls

over hills

buttercups the clover spills


spring sings

of a dawn

golden gleams the y'olden yawn


spring blooms

with the moon

flying high - but dies in june

long, dark cardigan  (  nagidrac krad ,gnol  )






bedspread butterfly

lead leg lethargy


lime tree library

tar pit ptarmigan


pit stop pigeon nods

lark tongue tumbleweed


backspin bungalow

stick man balladeer


earwig wizardry

witch ditch witherings


willow woven ghost

drop drip ossier


long, dark cardigan

black rats gathering


un-stitched staggerings

sleep speak natterings

...

































 

gnicuob

~

gnicuob  (  bouncing  )






like a magic bean

on a trampoline


as the pippet sings

& the onion springs


spirals in the mind

pillared posts behind


fading greys & blacks

hopping winter's tracks


frog with the gnu

shades of kangaroo


cronus sews the dales

chasing tiggered tails


green the leaves of brown

bobbing up & down


'til the curtain scrawls

all is rubber balls
