a year in a walk in a day  (  a  p o e m  )




squawk with the hawk on the knot blossom dawn

leg with the lamb as the hedge flotsam spawns

weave with the green on the osier morn

plot with the land as the bud licks the thorn


sup with the bee on the corncockle spoon

spread with the bed as the snapdragon bloom

fluff with the spawn on the bluebottle noon

waff with the wasp as the fox hums a tune


cob with the nut on the mist riddle reave

fog with the frog as the drop mizzle breathe

web with the wet on the dim drizzle eve

float with the ghost as the tree drips the leaves


flap with the bat on the black badger's bite

ale with the dale as the grass pastures white

twist with the turn on the snow crystal night

crow with the flow as the stove burners light

spidery

spidery  (  a  p o e m  o f  s t u f  f  )



solar storms & frozen lakes

clover swards & open gates

spilling sheep

& swilling sleep

soda bread & water snakes


reverie & quiver quakes

ebony & river drakes

quacking so

& flapping flow

nettle tea & shimmer shakes


lunacy & marble cakes

fluency & garden rakes

clearing paths

& smearing graphs

gallantry & canker brakes


golden finch & silver hakes

fingertips & crystal flakes

dusting on

& humming swan

phantom train & spectred crakes


underscores & undertakes

choral caws & middle eights

spurting forth

& gurning north

trickery & ticker tape


tapestries & stomach ache

sanity & double takes

misting eyes

& wisping whys

spidery & wide awake

...

babble stations  (  a  p o e m  )




apple carts & animation

adders licking river basins

scatter charts & phantom chapels

riddles rum the drunken raisins


underscores & orchestration

warbles warring thundered thracians

rowan roots & roman candles

muffles crow the ruffled ravens


lemon cakes & aviation

letters shaping tesselation

angel dust & sunken saddles

upper cuts the stale crustacean


lunar seas & lubrication

sputters spuming wave equations

euphony & blabber battles

badgers man the babble stations

sweat river ripple  (  a  p o e t r t y  )




pen panda puddle

phantom letters & a funnel

shepherd shears - snip the weirs

& a shovel in a bubble


song joggle fossil

feather lepers & a nozzle

ginger beers - fizz the smears

& a clipper in a bottle


tripe rumble rifle

tumble driers & a cycle

souvenirs - tooth the sears

& a spindle in a spiral


dance metal kettle

ladder adders & a pebble

puppeteers - string fronteirs

& a stagger in a speckle


run badger babble

blister sickles & a gavel

brigadiers - in arrears

& a battle in a barrel


sweat river ripple

seven lemons & a chisel

gondoliers - of the ears

& a pepper in a pickle

hymn a spring of violets

hymn a spring of violets  (  a  p o e m z  )




hymn a spring of violets

a cockpit full of pilots

a cashew, a cuckoo

a driftwood crown


skim a spin of pebbles

a pocket full of shekels

a corkscrew, a horseshoe

& windmill towns


wing a string of weavers

a socket full of seizures

a zebu, an emu

in evening gowns


ring a sing of gargles

a bucket full of marbles

a tissue, an igloo

the walls fall down

...
