on the way owl  (  a r e n ‘ t  w e  a l l  . . .  ?  )





yesterday's turnips

thunder & cumbric

scribbles in cloudburts

pebbles & ponds


doggerland trousers

oscan appendix

shingles in dingles

tawny & night


lamplight papyrus

mastodon measles

sails in the seaman

quaggas & cakes


glacial dodos

phantoms of carrots

snowy & bridges

hoots in the loot

whisper a petal

sing in the kettle

spittle & rivers

spin in the settle


stumble a trundle

stung in the bundle

mutters & mirrors

tongue in the mumble


yodel a chorus

odes in the walrus

skippers & scissors

tow in the tortoise


feather a florist

pox in the porridge

weather & wither

hops in the coppice


shepherd a farmer

pecks in the parlour

pillars & timber

shits in the harbour


thunder a coda

sun in the clover

under & quiver

glow in the over

sing a swan of thursdayed  (  a  p o e m  f o r  s t r o k e  o f  t o d a y  )





dot a dog of dash-slapped

pillocks on a hill

rubber duck & quack back

gibbons of the quill

as the bladder backpacks

jabber jack & jill

dot a dog of dash-slapped

pillocks on a hill


buzz a bee of drum-hummed

blithers on a walk

bumble sea & sun spun

titters of the torque

as the onions luncheon

& the bunions squawk

buzz a bee of drum-hummed

blithers on a walk


hop a frog of crocused

scrambles on a wold

bramble, egg & locus

coddles of the cold

as the speckles focus

scatter spell & scrolled

hop a frog of crocused

scrambles on a wold


sing a song of thursdayed

scribbles on a tor

river on & mermaids

mizzle of the moor

as the daze shats surveys

saddle wax & war

sing a song of thursdayed

scribbles on a tor

( - that's it )

a shite poem

a shite poem  (  b u t  b o n u s  p o i n t s  f o r  h o n e s t y  )



in the foam of evensong

as bedfordshire is brawling

petrichor is herring

& the plover's toe is mauve


silage is a slithering

as slippers in the stomach

swans upon a turnip

as badger fucks a fox


lemon trees are purring

as the apple in the castle

blobs within the bucket

as a gibbon shats a log


flume - i hear you pewter

from the london planetarium

sneeze - i cheese the big nose

of the lost sphinx

of antartica
