spun with rivers ( a p o e m )
…
fling the hymn of pickled pillars
speckled eggs & freckled span
dot the spots of watchful mirrors
chicken heads & nettle jam
skim the skin of scribbled scissors
custard stains & flustered flans
gasp the gills of gibbered glimmers
ketchup trains & mustard trams
wind the wind of mindful millers
woodland wands & wetland hands
pull the wool of shepherd's triggers
certain worms & squirms in cans
peck the neck of seven sisters
shimmered shoes & spiral scams
spell them not it's spun with rivers
spew dry ice & to the van

some call it autumn ( s o u n d o v e r s e n s e i n 1 6 l i n e s )
…
pastures pop the masterstrokes & chickens pox the coop
answers bop the antelopes & thicken broths the soup
tossers frock the opera cloaks & totters clog the boots
salad tops the ballad notes & fetters slop the sloop
letters speak the envelopes & lepers leap the loop
bubbles squeak the saddle soap & splinters eek the group
uncles seek the antidote & raptors sweep the swoop
easels clean the weasel throats & flutters sweet the flute
rifles link the cycle spokes & idylls chin the chute
trifles dim the idle folk & riddles wink the newt
wobbles spin the fiddled oak & gobbles swim the gloop
spirals sink the over-dotes & wrinkles sync the droop
scuffles scrape the after-notes & passion fakes the fruit
pressure plates the pleasure boats & tractors ape the troupe
terror shakes the horoscopes & laughter wakes the mute
muffles cape the duffel coat & nincom napes the poop

prophecy broth ( s o m e m y s t i c s m e g )
…
when the greenswards grey
seven elves shall eat late may
as the hoarse stoat neighs
then the nose shall spy
herrings mauve & kipper thighs
as the crowbar flies
yet the dexterous flea
perched within the chestnut tree
sings not of your knees
so the bilge shall bark
as the milkmaids face the lark
& the dark aardvarks
