for whom the bell ends …  (  … sdne lleb eht mohw rof  )

…




blooming blue lunatics

seeking silver light


lullabies, succubi

as the buggers bite


myrmidons murmuring

mercury & hark


magic beans, majesty

rabid badgers bark


speckle then, pecking hens

rubber chicken neck


flutter cups, frozen beams

floating - flippin' 'eck


sea shanties, cheese pantries

sweet selene & me


crater-faced clatterings

- campanology

… ti no peels  (  sleep on it …  )

clutter above the

flow of a river

bee with the roses

crunch in the woodland


under the thunder

scatters of cushions

raining & draining

time is an onion


leaves on the lining

pan on his panpipes

dog in a manger

cat on a mattress


bird over clover

lemonade weather

daze of cheese salad

feathers & fleeces

& janus yawns  (  snway sunaj &  )

…






& janus yawns - begin again

with spinning plates & figure eights

a sort of door, a nu-refrain


a blooming moon, a winter rose

a glimmer of a tinsel tree

a morning frost, a cockerel crows


an even morn, the sky is red

a mumbling of tumbleweed

& man aliver - december's dead


a stopping clock, a ticking list

the underlings of over there

the phantom hands of river mist


a sliding scale, a slither's snail

a scatter graph, a swivel chair

a dog in fog, a twisting tale


the ups & downs of roundabouts

a parsnip in a silver birch

& hark, a parp of brussel sprouts


the air is pins, a drop of snow

within the still - a village snores

& there beneath the mistletoe


the brambles scratch, the gloaming dawns

a groan of bones & so we sing

the song of swans - & janus yawns


...

scatter jan  (  naj rettacs  )

…







scratching naps

sputter rust

ink of gaps

ash & dust


fogging on

in the clear

spins the mist

of the year


sunken songs

underneath

sneezing breeze

winter wreath


bubble broth

blow y'nose

peaking troughs

frozen toes


in between

sleeping pills

vernal spurts

greening hills


brown & down

badger man

scraps of maps

scatter jan


weaving we

spider's web

with the dead

seeking feb


hide & seek

run away

nothing much

left to say

...

authors note  ( eton srohtua )

…




authors note of holes in plots

poets pause & piss in pots


apples rot & doctors sneeze

phantoms fog the misted leas


croaking frogs are boxing hares

spinsters spin in swivel chairs


faster as the river brims

minstrels mince the meat of hymns


in the turning twists of dawn

teasels prick as weasels yawn


cockerels crow & starlings shine

starting with a parting line


bishops bash the rusted nails

painters brush the fox's tails


authors note of holes in plots

quill the gaps & jot the dots

pens within a pencil case

worms within a squirming tin


birds within a feathered head

onions under lemon skin


paper planes & pickled brains

peppermint & rusted chains


ring a rubber chicken neck

triple check & let's begin
