the squinter springs

~

the squinter springs  (  a  p o e m  )

 





the pincers ping & pinch the sun

as needles ting & winch the spun

the weasels wheeze & kiss the gun

as breezes heave & frisk the nun


the splinters sting & pale the stoat

as duffel huffs & hales the coat

the scuffles scale & sail the boat

as taverns trail & ale the throat


the lingers limb & lick the leas

as whimpers whip & strip the trees

the wizards whisk & twist the frieze

as phantoms faff & slap the knees


the simper spins & sprites the snore

as crystals drift & white the moor

the ripples riff & cite the sore

as auburn dyes & eyes the door


the sphincter sings & squits the ring

as fingers sphynx & flit the fling

the mistle toes & clips the wing

as fizzles grow & sling the swing


the squinter springs & flops the frost

as wanders swan & what the knots

the ponders on & song the lofts

as tossers toss & dot the dots

a squinter’s tail

a squinter’s tail  (  a  p o e m  )




bonce upon the biscuit

sputtered pots & spatchcock

underneath the arches

snorting forth & fetlock


mist within the mystics

bubble bath & matlock

wept beneath the carpets

chicken necks & despots


treacle scream the twisted

bastard scraps & padlocks

harden harks the harness

butter thumbs & headlocks


wicked whips the wickets

shimmered shuff & shamrocks

silver birch the larches

mother hems & hemlock


tickle tick the listed

adder axe & ad hoc

chuckle churns the charges

devil desks & desktops


scissors snake the snippets

avalon & gap stops

parlours maid the parches

bedfordshire & bedrock


quibbles click the crickets

minotaur & matchbox

muddles mud the markets

eider fucks & french knots


double dips the digits

ladder tops & laptops

roses row the marches

noses snow the sweat sock

gubbins the musical

~

gubbins the musical  (  a  p o e m  )




hum a drum as rivers merge

& riddles seek the sea

warble forth as grasses verge

& scribbles leap the flea


clarinet as fiddles surge

& cymbals ting the key

tenor horns as flutters blur

& dawdles slap the knee


double bass as bubbles burst

& muddles ape the spree

castanet as batons urge

& badgers shake the tree


band the blend as ballads dirge

& blizzards freeze the pea

treble clef as bellends church

& kettles timpani


group the loop as noodles splurge

& bullocks chew the lea

sweep the street as curtains scourge

& tingles euphony


orchestra as puddles purge

& marbles march the scree

weasels peep as silence lurks

'stead stride - with harmony

...
