taking the epistle

taking the epistle (  a  p o e m  )




cotton grapples - flaps & fumbles

rotten apples - traps & crumbles

tickled pickles - pips & peppers

chinese tea leaves in my checkers


monkey tundra - junk & jungles

hairy marches - springs & trundles

error margins - lines & headers

stinky stilton in my cheddar


tummy rumbles - pangs & tumbles

bullish beehives - stings & bumbles

otter tossers - lies & betters

woolen jumpers in my sweaters


misty systems - fog & jumbles

pissing chickens - clucks & stumbles

pigeon spittle - fucks & feathers

dearest messrs in my letters

...









 

panic in the tea break

~

panic in the tea break (  a  p o e m  f o r  m o n d a z e  )



flapping thumbs & drum breaks

rumbles in the sponge cake

battles in the apples

cackles in the mirth-quake


bramble bursts & mandrake

tremors in the handshakes

feathers in the heavens

redden in the tax breaks


cloudy cows & milkshakes

outage in the intake

thicket in the bracken

blackens in the daybreak


fading ink & hotcakes

nobody's in namesakes

patter in the shatter

patterns in the snowflakes


sticky bricks & muckrakes

dithers in the disc brakes

quivers in the scissors

rivers in the fishcakes


rising tides & sea snakes

wishes in the keepsakes

whittles in the antics

panic in the tea break

( ! )

loopholes in me shoe soles

~

loopholes in me shoe soles  (  a  p o e m  )






princes swim with tadpoles

pandas stamp on flagpoles

pigeons peck the odd socks

pillocks in the potholes


badgers din the bell tolls

bakers spin the bread rolls

makers meet their matchbox

briskly then the heads roll


wishes in the fish shoals

chicken cheese & flipped poles

panic pangs the padlocks

rusty pens the keyholes


monkeys mop the mole holes

otters sing in old scrolls

shepherds boo the blue fox

weasels weave in corn dolls


tossers tree the green knolls

pincers pinch in pinholes

whispers on the breeze blocks

smeary marks the charcoal


gubbins spoons the own goals

romans road the plod-strolls

dripping drops of what-not's

loopholes in me shoe soles

...
















































































 

september & out the other one

~

september & out the other one ( 16 seasonal lines of rhyme )





with bucking wheat & sprawling thorns

& spider crawls as fungi spores

with blistered heels & swirling skies

& burning wheels in whirring eyes


with chequered flaps & standing stones

& chatters in those prattled bones

with saddle sore & horsey flies

& porky pies in lullabies


with apple carts & cobby corn

& poncey plods on foggy morns

with jammy jars & fruity highs

& drama queens with loopy sighs


with onion sobs & gleeful crones

& spittle in such sputtered groans

with falling leaves & butterflies

yes, this is when the summer dies

...










































































 

& kitten spit

~

& kitten spit ( a poetry of poemz )





woven webs & closely knit

tapestries & throwing fits

hammer toss & hypocrites

rusty dust & sewing kits


freckled specks & letters writ

thinking tanks & messerschmitts

monkey brains & lizard tricks

chicken clucks & cocky pits


fruity bowls & bolshevicks

blooming moons & lolly licks

hoi poloi & politics

posy prose & lunatics


weasel eyes & scissor kicks

crinkle cuts & microchips

steamy lots & icy picks

daily dumps & fibre bricks


misty moths & candlesticks

donkey traps & carrot sticks

elbow glows & rosy hips

wanker whales & bailiwicks


hairy pears & apple pips

rubber ducks & battleships

what the fucks? & badger shit

bits of lists & kitten spit
