smashing ( some poetry sheet stuff sheet poem )




as fathead hemlock sparrows whales

& cottage combat jigsaws snails

as bootleg chieftains swarm the sprite

& twenty werewolves probe the dales


as blistered gypsies bumper balls

& vacant hipbones portal walls

as hittite hopscotch flops the night

& heatstroke beeswax warps the sprawl


as killjoy gymnasts blunt the quail

& northern pinwheels stump the ale

as hellfire hunchbacks guild the kite

& sacred crayons rib the gale


as shotgun whitsuns goat the scrawl

& potluck penguins coat the shawl

as freckled foghorns frog the blight

i sit & watch - absorb it all

...

bother-spot ( your advert here )




as laundry maids mangle

& trespassers trample

as tabloid scum scandal

i dangle at angles


as hearty shelves mantle

& eggy codes scramble

as connoisseurs sample

i jangle me ankles


as sequins all spangle

& bracelets all bangle

as birthdays blow candles

i tried to feel thankful


but delayed trains cancel

& wrong'un folk strangle

i dangle at angles

some help please, i'm tangled

stroll-stuff ( some pun-of-the-mill gubbins – twenty seventeen stylee )




muddles in puddles & jumbles in socks

dawdles through portals & pennies in slots

sun on my earlobes

& wind up my nose

saunters through old haunts & vest strings in knots


dithers in rivers & riddles in keys

bubbles in bobbles & knobbles in knees

oh in my so-so

& on in my flow

shadows are breadcrumbs & questions are trees


pistols in pistons & crystals in rocks

ponies in shell suits & donkeys in frocks

search for those echoes

through to & its fro

poems are hidden in wheres & their whats


wanders in ponders & sonnets in bees

haiku in sky blue & bollocks in me

yon lie the meadows

yes, soon we are home

quibble in scribbles - so how did it go?

fuss bother fuss ( a true story about a twat )



i'm not the bats within your eyes

i'm not the facts that stick to lies

i'm not the stoat

within your throat

i'm not the thunder in your thighs


i'm not the wind within your whines

i'm not the string that binds your twine

i'm not what's flung

when songs are sung

i'm not your sadly absent spine


i'm not the boars up in your skies

i'm not the pork within your pies

i'm not the oats

that float your boats

i'm not your flaming butterflies


i'm not the war within your mind

i'm not the thoughts from your behind

i'm not the dung

upon your tongue

i'm not your phantom pantomime

eater of words ( some sheet )





lemon scented brigadiers

kitchen sinking dragonflies

diabetic satellites

chariots & dynamite


custard skimming cavaliers

bread & dripping candlelight

holographic parasites

pigeonholes & appetites


flagon slaying puppeteers

heckle freckled samurais

anacondas rhapsodise

potbellies & jacobites


bubble storming balladeers

lily dithered philistines

liberation lullabies

alphabets & alibis

...

























boomerang

boomerang ( some ropy verse for a wet wednesday )



i am the spell that gave you hope

i cured the pox that got your goat

last boxing day

neath skies of grey

as holly wreathed & ivy moped


i am the mist that brought you cheer

last mischief night i fought your tears

with disarray

i fogged away

then come dawn's yawn - i'd ruddy cleared


i am those notes you sat & wrote

to uncle fuss & auntie dotes

then pancake day

flipped tricks your way

yet now i'm stamped in envelopes


i am that key you lost last year

on whitsun eve i vanished, dear

to where i strayed?

i cannot say

but now i'm back - i've reappeared
