hit the odd

hit the odd  (  a  p o e t r y  o f  p o e m  )






knelling bells & glockenspiels

swishing swells & orange peels

lemon pips & cherry lips

dripping spit on potter's wheels


splashing backs & ducking teal

flapping quacks & fucking zeal

phantom lands & river mist

twisting tongues of tungsten steel


lightning shocks & catherine wheels

viking frocks & saxon heels

frozen roads & woven tricks

winter tracks for snowmobiles


croaky crows & sodden fields

ropy flows & conger eels

easel grease & triple dips

hit the odd with socks appeal

answers on a lamppost  (  a  p o e m  f o r  s c u m d a y  )





yawn the dawn of raincoats

drizzle drops & grey ghosts

sunken in its slumber

curtains draped & burnt toast


tread the earth as clouds float

every town & outpost

stumble on the umber

hum the strum of footnotes


chase the tales of tailcoats

misty gist & misquotes

jumbles in the blunder

mumbles in the utmost


stroll the roll of goal posts

silver suns & gold coasts

winters in the summer

wankers in the banknotes


ease the wheeze of steamboats

weasel cheese & speedboats

wobbles in the wonders

warbles in the sore throats


sing a song of foremost

bubble burst & almost

scan the land for numbers

answers on a lamppost

dossiers & dossing days

dossiers & dossing days  (  a  p o e m  )






piss a wish of disarray

pigeon pox & protégés

cobble clogs & panther pounce

bounce an ounce & ricochet


ring a sting of manta rays

alley cats & passageways

singing swans & sinking boats

goat a scroat & castaway


act the black of shadow plays

happy twats & saturdays

shuffled shoes of muted blue

glue the clues & attaché


heed the seeds of caraway

evil bees & gamma rays

sable daze & pale the odds

plod the sod & that-a-way


peck the hen of delta ray

jumpy genes & d.n.a

whip the cream & toast the flow

there she blows & beaujolais


hop the plop of holidays

dossiers & dossing days

stowaways & ropy junk

monkey spunk & toss away

...













































































































































































































cabbage the passage

cabbage the passage  (  a  p o e m  f o r  a  f r i d a y  )







puddle the punches & upper the cuts

sputter the lunches & supper the crust

muddle the bunches & buckle the clue

huddle the hunches & headbutt the bust


wobble the goggles & foible the nuts

oggle the gobbles & royal the flush

nobble the squabbles & cuckoo the shrew

pommel the cobbles & joyful the rust


wiggle the wriggles & piddle the pus

jiggle the fiddles & spittle the gusts

pickle the ripples & scribble the skew

nipple the middle & tickle the true


paddle the branches & channel the chuff

dangle the dances & battle the brush

addle the axis & saddle the spew

cabbage the passage & adage the the dust

stew

~

stew  (  s o m e  b e e  m i n u s  r h y m e s  )



frilly jitters twist in knickers

candle makers quake in flickers

lilies dally in the valley

petals settle - rivers dither


lizard lickers simper snickers

chicken pluckers cluck in quivers

dream is gleaming into evening

echoes let go - summer withers


scissor kickers hit the liquor

crashing lashes whip the vicar

like a florist in a forest

fighting phantoms - misty figures


jingled winters spit in witters

sinking kitchen saucepans simmer

stutters stumble in the jumble

stomachs rumble - what's for dinner
