swerve the verve

swerve the verve  (  s o m e  s p a wn  o f  a  l o w e r  –  s t a r  )


curdle herbal languages

bumbles burr the mumble me

curtain scrawls & sandwiches

circles spur a swirling curve


warble pickle piccolos

whistle wars the apple tree

tingle sings in little toes

hit a brick & shit a nerve


twizzle sickle cigarette

spidery spins binary

blister sister inner-sweat

lepers deck the des-reserve


silent singer glistening

fiddles scry the finder's flea

easel tiger christening

winter withers - spring's a perv'


muffle truffle castaway

melons of the lemon scree

seven shepherd cabaret

shuffle shoes a tennis serve


gargle gaggle avenue

jibbering as garden peas

jabber ladder latitude

sputter nutter dust deserves


swans upon a pantomime

fishes in the fission sea

mother earth & frankenstein

marbles jar as jam preserves


limber licker liquorice

hurtle gurns the gurgle key

blubber rubber river fish

piss a swish & swerve the verve

...





















































magnetic love

magnetic love  (  a  p o e m  )



cat clarinet of fan inlets

as leopards leck the lemonade

& rats cassette as lapwings sweat

of shepherd shims & melon maids

sip anisette on parapets

& lick the knave of mayonnaise


dog hovercraft - the hologram

slash parallax in sonic socks

or haversack as mono grams

of candle wax in comet clocks

& badgers axe the anagram

slash agar man in raven socks


kale cable car in nasal tar

& marble in the marlin's chin

as mitts sitar & tables bra

of alphabets & garden kings

piss papal stars - miss maple car

& bubble wraps of signet rings


pi platypus, the pincer's imp

& prefix in the pine nut pew

eye, tacitus - in kitchen blinks

& trifle in the rifle's glue

as abacus bee blister ink

& lettuce gins of crabs & yew

mist the bus & catch the fog  (  y o u ‘ v e  l e f t  t h e  b l o o d y  i r o n  o n  )


mizzle mettle kettle sing

mist the bus & catch the fog

spring it spurs a petalling

babbles bat the travelogue

piddle puddles pedalling

freckles frog on analogue

speckle dogs & swirling things

purring in the catalogue

a scribble a day

a scribble a day  (  a  p o e t r y  )



a coroner stirs in croaks of crow

an orator birds & stokes the glow

that prattles the gleam

& shafts the stream

in twinkles of toes as roses row


a peasant then preens in dips of dawn

as kettle-hens steam & fist the morn

that badger the sky

& bats the eye

in bollocks of shine & shites of yawn


a smuggler snails in trails of slime

a juggler scales the dales & climbs

the tips of the tors

on hawks of moors

til scrawling - it balls - & yon, we rhyme


an officer wisps as hats-a-don

a forager whips a splat upon

the scrap of the page

that maps the maze

a scribble a day - & song - we swan

pheromones in velodromes  (  m y  o t h e r  p o e m  i s  a  c o b w e b  )



pheromones in velodromes

telephones & metronomes

lepers lick the lemonade

megaliths & megaphones


baritones in badger bones

chaperones & granulose

cymbals ting the fingertips

river twist & saxophones


undergrowth of undertones

rumble rose & thunder tones

bunions sing the nutter mist

butter dish & onion domes


xylophones in pilot homes

hydrophones & fire zones

spiders spin the lyricist

in a bit & wider roams

pack a lunch & bagpipes  (  a  p o e t r y  )




rubber duck & rubric

double dutch as music

muffles puff the duffel

ruffles scruff the tunic


swisher swell & echo

butter cups as yellow

flutter spits the sputter

nutter in the hedgerow


picture witch & mentor

snort a walk as centaurs

singers ring the squinter

tenors enter tent doors


limber jig & sew seed

pinch a pig as pokeweed

romans note the omens

rivers run the nose bleed


dotter eye & seesaw

credently as seashore

spirals squint the cycle

seaman squib the detour


pack a lunch & bagpipes

flash a punch a lamplights

murmurs mist the bursar

spaniels win the catfights

that er way

that er way  (  a n o t h e r  m u d d l e r i c k  )




catnip, bin bags, haversacks & hacksaws

matchsticks, chin wags, candle wax & jackdaws

cawing, thread-lead

swarming in the hedge-head

that's it, splish splash, babble axe & backdoors

...





































 

lovely poem, by the way …

lovely poem, by the way …  (  t r u t h  v e r s u s  l a z i n e s s  )



swirling whirls & orangeries

petals kiss the summerhouse

singing songs of feathered stuff

pixie cheese & pantry wank


custard skins & caramel

ribbons peck the cherub chick

blossom hops of chocolate pie

lemon sun & badger shat


finger fudge & pheasant morns

crackles dram the ham of scam

swishing scarves of aahs of stars

chatterings & shards of arse


butterscotch & buttercups

blue moons moo the unicorns

jiggle words of inkling birds

pigshit drips & piddle piss
