( as the crowbar flies ) ( a re-winging of an older post )
…
there are moors that sprawl beyond dry-stone walls where the heather tones & the lonesome roam there are fields that gleam neath the sun's gold beams where the ragwort hides & the blank verse rhymes there are treetops tall where the woodlark calls & the oak tree moans as the old wind groans there are streams that dream as the weasels scheme as the crowbar flies far within my mind ...

puddle on ( a poem for wednesday etc. )
…
on hilltops low as whispers blow & blackened clouds burst into song with tingled brains & prattled chains we float our boats to bob along on gleaming dew in pastures moo as hay fields wait - the grass is long a play is staged - we turn a page the pylons sing of knights of yon where woodland grows & cobwebs glow & nettle stings seem extra-strong on bumpy daze we jingle change & scratch our thatch 'fore hats are donned in valleys blue we chuckle shoes passed riverbanks as ducks quack swans as sunshine rains on cobbled lanes we pause for clues then puddle on ...

ebb & flow ( some science & that )
…
a star is born - a song is sung
a ferret sighs - a bell end's rung
there's frequencies
for all t.vs
a milk pale turns - a guitar's strummed
a badger yawns - a gas lamp glows
the branches nod when mild winds blow
the rivers flee
towards the sea
then comes the rain or sleet or snow
a magpie yawns - fresh dung is flung
there's tingles on my throbbing tongue
there's shaky knees
that's guaranteed
& blossoming when spring has sprung
as fungi spore - it's ebb & flow
i close my eyes & twiddle toes
i feel the breeze
against my knees
then sneeze down wells where echoes go

cheapskate poundland paper - bland & blank as snow kisses shit & tight ink - black as murdered crows elsewhere swans sing backwards - spits of feathered songs as dream streams creep upstream - upwards then we row time to meet thy maker - itch & twiddle toes slice & dice an onion - briskly knead that dough bang a foolish gold gong - prance & act that one wake the ghosts for breakfast when those garden grow bastard scraps & capers - scarpered as me flow stick to myths & hearsay - not what folk may know salmon leap for wisdom - avalon & on quibbles pose as scribbles - squits of so & so fruits of vaguely labour - flighty quill winds blow barley mows & cobwebs - watch them as they glow write some wrongs etc. where they should belong as the rain pours buckets fuck it, here we go ...
