ten poems to write ( a l i s t o f t i t l e s n o t t i t t l e s )
…
never love a lollipop lady
adolf's secret lovely twin
when elbows were ankles
the chelsea flower show massacre
my bubblewrap hell
when swans were gerbils
a funny thing happened to me on the way
to the place where funny things happen
tinnitus, the sonnet
when eyebrows were lethal
& jesus, the acid-welding years

sunder heads the flicker ripples greet the leaving spindles spin the freckles speckles fleck the fleeting wonder eggs the vicar swivels sweep the gleaming drizzles sting the nettles kettles steam the meaning blunder reds the kipper pickles peal the ceiling nipples pinch the shekels trestles bridge the beaming thunder threads the quiver whistles sweep the squealing riddles rip the rebels pebbles pip the preening plunder pegs the pillar prickles pique the healing fiddles string the medals devils deck the dealing lumber legs the river sickles seek the seeming jiggles jinx the revel vessels wreck the dreaming hunger begs the differ piffle bleats the greening sniffle whiffs the petals heckles huff the heaving numbers bed the shimmer quibbles clique the cleaving fickle splits the meddles settle sings the evening ...

pigeon coups & pirouettes ( 1 6 l i n e s o f w o b b l e j u i c e )
…
fishing swish & pissing sweat
pigeon coups & pirouettes
shipping seeds & pissing seas
skittles in the silouettes
catting traps & flapping flesh
misting maps & missing guests
ripping gist & wheezing breeze
wriggles in the wrinkled flesh
howling owls & clouding jets
scowling frowns & jousting specks
spouting sounds & housing trees
jiggles in the minarets
popping clogs & flopping flex
fleeing frogs & epithets
specking logs & sleep in peas
ripples on the internet

teeters in the treehouse ( a p o e m f o r w e d n e s d a y ‘ s a n k l e s )
…
peepers shawl the seesaw letters sprawl the espouse lepers scare the seashore weasels in the warehouse hokey pokes the jigsaw cokey gropes the in-outs ropy rides the rickshaw lizards in the lighthouse colliers bowl the coleslaw waltzes sway the j. strauss pipers pipe the what-for tigers in the doghouse buggers beg the bedstraw portals yawn the dormouse beavers bee the buzzsaw dawdles in the courthouse spindles spin the folklore thimbles thumb the head louse gargles sing the barn door marbles in the farmhouse hoofers clove the cold sore roofers speck the red grouse sneezes seize the centaur breezes in the schoolhouse ruffles rile the wild boar brussels spouts the green sprouts dowsers doubt the outlaws weevils in the greenhouse nozzles spray the eyesore wobbles sway the tea spouts piffle whiffs the encore teeters in the treehouse ...
