fly tip tinsel toes

wassail peak & dale

town's down - streets & sprawls

untitled poem things

sing with the winter wren

penned as the kettle sings


spawn of the morning's odes

yawning in analogue

frog hops & crawling toads


crows of the cockatoos

tea of the clipper ship

hip hip hypotenuse


tones of the broken clocks

building with rubber bricks

ticks & then token tocks


slugs in the underscores

drumming in triple slime

rhyming with thunder roars


pickle me vegetables

clover & overstep

peppermint sentinels


dogwood & spinning plates

cloaked in an oaken hood

wood chip & figure eights


sucking as lemon curds

summer is riddled pink

ink blots & bursts of birds


flaps as the chatter runs

suns as the clatter clapped

chapped lips & scatter guns


shoot as the budded leaves

nip as the ninja gnat

shat of the basket's weaves


shades of the sunless skies

wraiths in a comet's tail

stale bread & butterflies


rip tides & broken wings

spin as the spindle's spun

satsuma star  (  rats amustas  )

…





satsuma star

rise like the shining


still sunken sun

citric & sparkles


swoop in the mute

yawns of the morning


ghost of a sky

phantom of plasma


over the leas

carotene phoenix


i with my eyes

stand on the rec's edge


five twenty five

spins on a sixpence


swan in a squint

sweet ginger ninja

( bracken english )  ( hsilgne nekcarb )

…





bracken english - brocks & foxes

tongues in brambles, frogs in boxes


speak in seasons, springs & winters

clutching storms with butter fingers


whistle thistles, thorns & teasels

lizard queens & village weasels


flea the fodder, toss & stirrers

mist is sylphid, meat is murmurs


phantoms flapping as the clappers

river diction, spit the pastures


spot a coppice - specks & freckles

kettles steaming, sing in nettles


bee in clover, sleep in comas

broken biscuits, moss on stoners


we phoenecians, slackened linguists

squawk the talk of bracken english

september pens

september pens  (  snep rebmetpes  )

…





september pen with feathered quills

& drips of squid - a spider's web


a burst of birds, a host of crows

a turning tide, the flow & ebb


of creeping eves with twinkle toes

& broken odes in biscuit tins


a sinking hymn, the plug of glug

the water whirls, the water spins


the water falls upon the leas

& gargles through the afternoon


the calling corn, a sea of wheat

a brighter night - a harvest moon


the mizzle's mist, a spawning dawn

a sodden trudge, the smudge of lens


the fog of dog, the songs of swans

et cetera - september pens

i cucumber  (  rebmucuc i  )

…



i cucumber the catacombs

of castanets & caramel


to lichen like a library

& shrew the pygmy's peas


i mastodon the mutant mews

of sandals, sand & sandwiches


to petal pichard pillories

& peck the princely knees


i otter on the dioxide

of hyphenated milking-maids


& whale the tales of hydrogen

to chafe the chin of cheese


but i am butter cardigan

& partridge not the postman's nose


so bee within this bungalow

& fudge beneath her fleas

greta  (  aterg  )

…





death's best friend

bleats in dungarees


of the phantoms on her tongue

& her dark disciples flap


~


death's sweet swede

dregs of scandi-noir


with an ostrich feathered head

pantomiming parliaments


~


death's young bride

eyes like a chasm


sees the invisible

aether of life


~


pigtailled puppet

sailing over plastic oceans


( ? )


cash in her pockets

as apollo cycles swan
