confusion is …

confusion is … ( & it glows a little something like this )



the clam before the storm

a walrus in a walnut tree

the polka dotted sun

a plastic mackerel sky


the owl that hoots at noon

the ship that rigged the lottery

a hop within a skip

a dish within a pie


the raisin in the rhyme

the mumbles of a bumblebee

a shuffle in a shoe

as tigers stripe the sky


the rat that drowns the rain

a puddle in the fuddle's sea

the mountaineering mole

a dragon - as a fly


the mizzle mist of list

the cardinals of syncope

the marzipan on mars

or stones of gemini


the toad that leads to rome

the living ghost of poetry

a scribble in a blink

the life & times of i

orthopaedic shoes

orthopaedic shoes  (  a  p o e m z  )




strolling a song

in the muddle of the morn


baa bleat the cows

& a moo from all the ewes


stringing along

with y' vest & dressing gown


toothpaste's the stain

on y' tartan painted trews


smiles from the town

on a yokel-local lane


still sits the wind

so the miller blows a fuse


autumn's in spore

as a buzzard boars the sky


holes in the soles

of y' orthopaedic shoes

excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses

excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses  (  ?  )


silage is golden

the dog ate the silage

freddie starr ate my last rolo


then


i fell into a puddle

on a rainy daze

in gloucester

& met suranne jones

& a narwhal from atlantis


so


it's pantomime season

& the garden gnomes are wassailing


-


moles are the only true

ground breakers left


but


if i were a ptarmigan

in a tartan cardigan

cows keep mooing

mooing

the goalposts

alphabet antennae  (  a  p o e t r y  )




alphabet antennae

blasting badger babylon

christmas crystal crows

diabetic dogs


even easter's eggheads

farting farthing funerals

galloping goshawks

horus's horsefly


iodine is inkling

j'accuse jim's jacuzzi jam

kipper kilowatts

lemon leper lords


musical, my mudflaps

nibiru's new noodle nest

otter obelisks

pyrotechnic plums


quoting quagga quince queens

ruffle rubber river run

seven silver swans

tonsil tonguing toads


unicorn urinals

vintage viking valium

weasels waxing wings

xanadu's xenon


yodel yeti yeoman

zither zephyr zulu zeus

a pageant of penguins

~

a pageant of penguins  (  a  dream & perhaps a poem too  )

 



a pageant of penguins

a chatter of chaffinch

an efit of peewits

a legion of egrets

a sparkling of starlings

a barrow of sparrow

a curfew of curlews

a bread bin of redwings

a custard of bustards

a finger of finches

a smidgeon of pigeons

a carrot of parrots

a weasel of eagles

a cupboard of buzzard

a goblin of robins

a murmur

of crows
