a bit of a div

~

a bit of a div ( vid a fo tib a )

…

moon in afternoon

merge in murky water

     with your then reflection

      peeping at the ripples

see the mincing mist

clear beyond the smear

      of a camp campaign

      & a spectral projection

faraway is late

never’s better though

      parp another parsnip

      as a crocus croaks

while the clocks fly

ticking like a bomb

      or the creaking ticker

      of a jibber-jabber man

wade in dunlop boots

rubber like a duck

      or the dub – in tubs

      sailing out & seabound

sun in shrouded cloud

coddled like an egghead

      shine again – y’ wanker

      giz a fuckin’ cuddle

alfred burnt a bridge

bridget saw the badgers

~

dance a rabid rumba

’twas the dog’s nadgers

~

brutus sang a song

judas screwed a hinge

~

vlad inhaled a whiff

of a fishy minge

~

by the harbourside

in the midland’s fog

~

portia saw a phantom

on a moorland bog

~

bertie blew a bugle

on the estuary

~

martha met a martian

sat on platform three

~

all aboard & papers

peter caught a fly

~

buzzing in the parlour

– why-oh-bloody-why ? –

~

arthur had a nap

as the sun was leaving

~

in that little gap

between teatime – & evening

…

spring gathering

spring gathering ( gnirehtag gnirps )

…

bluebell ringer’s
buttercup churner’s

maidens with hot cross
buns in the ovens

sneezing breezes
feathered penfriends

dancing daffodils
foxtrotting badgers

faux-troubadours
shepherds spotting leopards

liquid snowmen
puddles in trouble

agnus daze
the hazy lamb

green old biddies
called hyacinth or iris

boxing heiresses
socking kidnappers

hepatitis beekeepers
buzzes under bonnets

where the air is rarer
than a ginger with a tan

dandelion tamer’s
& scrambled eggheads

england in the nineties

england in the nineties ( seitenin eht ni dnalgne )

…

brian conley
was bradley walsh

bradley walsh
was brian conley

but no one noticed
even their mums

bernard matthews
banged the drums

boodiful
this mist of then

milkman whistled
brit pop songs

high on e
& sunny d

toblerones
were the size of the matterhorn

goblins roamed
the fields at night

after blair
the haunted air

saville was just
another showbiz oddball

the nation stopped for bay watch
& ready, steady cook

pelican crossings
on every other street

’til diana spencer
was epsteined

the chuckle brothers
were comedy gods

with their incredible
shell suits

quizzical intermission

quizzical intermission ( noissimretni lacizziuq )

…


coloured magenta – never a trick
sink on a feather, float on a brick

dancing distractions, world in a brain
purplish patches – drier in rain

redder if greener, higher than low
brighter in evening, whiter than crow

weirder than normalzzz, clearer in goo
sand in the sandals, go in the shoe

young in the future, old in the past
cold in the summer – slower if fast

freezing a fire, sawing a jig
pallid in colour, smaller in big

punching the pinches, sun underground
endlessly echoes – bouncing around

warmer in winter, land upon sky
i am a poem – see y’ – goodbye
