scrawl calls  (  o n e  o ‘  t h e m  p o e m  t h i n g s  )




sonnets spun of consonants

bibles swiped of b's

novels penned for ombudsmen

graphs of graffiti


hoi poloi - the corduroy blears

horns & headers three

magic maps for morris men

missing sheets of key


anagram the agar man

scrapes of symmetry

speckles in the river mist

spurts of herbal tea


squinter whiffs of potpourri

warble binary

portals in the otter ink

plods of podded pea


feather in the blether cap

flaps of tapestry

squiggles in the kitchen sink

squints of symphony


bubble bursts & stumble stubs

bubmles of the bee

doodles drawn of noodle spawn

dawdle diary


dialogues for miming troupes

notes on groceries

diatribes & scattered scribes

hagiographies


babbles on for babylon

scribbles soak the sea

saturn suns the dagger cloak

poetry of tree

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



i dribble birds of pickle hearse - my bends - they blink i'm plaid

to turd a sleigh & slime the flay & feet through dong & fad

to hen the bongs that swill the gongs

& flights that pie my pipe

i dribble birds of pickle hearse but loft this snakes me lad

sunder the blether  (  a  m u d d l e r i c k  )



the sprite be blonde the minnow groans & batter bats the brain

the quiver in the galley bones as butter sluts the crane

i shit beer bin my sodom goth

& purse the pie - puck cough

i stony tipped town squander slop & won't snow snout again

huffer-puff  (  a  m u d d l e r i c k  )


oh, pie could wriggle sodden girth & night nurse rust bike brew

ewe pout i can - oh huffer-puff but trucker - snow - it's shrew

a peas of hiss this sliming spit

hen wall is shed & tit

oh, ie could wriggle sodden girth - eye hood - sput won't font glue

sozzer plods  (  a  p o e m  )



the trudge is fudge & brussel sprout

as cabbage spins the sauerkraut

& rivers leap the salmon trout

it's bubble in this praetor out


the thaw is gnaw & puddle daze

as badgers cask the drunken rays

& ladders snake the puzzle maze

it's sable in this mayonnaise


the stead is bread & phantom limbs

as weasels sweep the onion skins

& squinter whips the water wings

it's portal in this caudal fin


the shim is shrew & rubber ball

as butter toads the splutter scrawl

& curtains spurt the splutter crawl

it's scribble in this overhaul

radishes & raspberries  (  a  p o e m  )



radishes & raspberries

cabbages & cavalry

horsing on

in snort & swan

canter clops & basketry


freckled specks & friaries

pheasant peck & spidery

phantom scrawls

on tattered walls

in the inns & libraries


twiddle toes & rosemary

ribulose & groceries

ticking lists

in mists of wisp

ants in pants & hosiery


adder tongues & alchemy

ladder rungs & rhapsody

clanging bells

in wells & spells

forest floors & canopies


sunken suns & tumbleweed

drunken nuns & bumblebees

buzzing by

in buzzard skies

bubble burst & summer breeze


colonnades & colonies

orangeade & socrates

scratching heads

& snatching veg

podded peas & broccoli


lemon tea & leprosy

levity & sesame

cracking safes

& smashing plates

eccles cakes & melody


otter toss & blackberries

totters off & tapestries

weaving yarns

in sleeping barns

sneezing stars & galaxies
