bring me my pen

~

bring me my pen  (  my other poem is si meop rehto ym  )

…




bring me my pen of pentecost

sing me my sheet of piffle speak

fetch me the dog that digs the pit

as doors are oars & hinges creak


lob me my loft of dancing bats

& kitchenette of sinking sand

we'll build a nu-jerusalem

in england's green & pheasant gland


sling me my mud of sodden lea

with fingertips of butterfly

squid me my ink of cuttlefish

a riddle & the cricket's cry


bring me my bow of burning gold

that chariot & arrows too

did he who made the lamb make thee?

& hurry up - & blake can sue

slot another sixpence in the blackbird meter

slot another sixpence in the blackbird meter  ( my other poem is gayer than tuesday )

…




slot another sixpence

in the blackbird meter


spot my home moon

with my new human eyes


pen a rotten sonnet

on the back of a food stamp


brush a side parting

on the palm of my hands


sail the lemon seas

in a lime green dinghy thing


ski with the yetis

in a faux-snow dome


win the tour de france

on the back - of a unicorn


butterfly with narwhals

( sans armbands )

bright white sheet shite

~

blank white sheet shite  ( a seasonal scribble )

…




the first of the month

a crackle of popcorn

a blossom of cotton

& rabbits are wed


the chalk of the town

a clatter of chatter

as seagulls are shitting

on chefs in their nests


of dusted meringue

& cheese à la cottage

as swans sing of linen

& doves string along


with men in their coats

& albino phantoms

as mistletoe tingles

& sheep fly the flag


a knight in a van

a tower of flour

a shuffle of knuckles

the milk of the eye


& elephants lie

as sliced is the rice bread

i scribble this piffle

alone in the snow

...

 

mottoesque

~

mottoesque  ( it’s mottoesque – like a motto )

…


so do your do

as who hoots owls

to fish upon

& lick the stars


no brain, no drain

for sod is glove

as all tarts cake

arse for arse ache


we come to cheese

odd & my shite

the customer's

hallways are bright


so bee the breeze

as war is peas

to seize the daze

& flight the flight


caecilius est

in atrium

...

when cul-de-sacs attack

~

when cul-de-sacs attack ( for saint andrew & bonny scotch pancake land )

…



when cul-de-sacs attack

the paper quakes

the pens are lead


as pencils trench the desk

i don my mask

then mustard gas


as sunshine strikes the eye

beyond the blue

of blinds that rule


in kingdoms all at war

the gaps       between

the flaps of shat

...

gabbling nuts

~

gabbling nuts  ( my other poem is a manuka honey badger )

…



mist upon the fog

sodden is the trodden path

as the badgers sing


songs within the bonce

ponce upon a scorpion

tales within the sting


as the woodland brown

weasels scheme & leaves piss down

kiss a signets ring


loop the whooper's hoop

swans upon a monkey isle

gibbons in the swing


droving over stiles

stubble grows as beards appear

so the limpets cling


pipers, pies & piles

whales & bales in barns of yarns

bailing twine as string


fuddles in the dales

in the midst of second spring

winter in the wings


let the games begin

gabbling nuts & dust - til may

babble, that's the thing

...

a shit poem about some local idiots poem

~

a shit poem about some local idiots  ( because entropy plus karma equals shit )

…



they laugh at decay

while waxing the gibbous

in gargles of lager

the midlands in mist


a pantomime pig

a pint & a natter

a clatter of adders

the eye of a fly


the code of the toad

as blossom is snowing

the vicar is sinking

the baker is toast


a hole in the road

a fork in a blizzard

an autumn of sorts or

an early bird birth


til cometh the tap

a phantom is calling

as bantams are scrawling

the black claw

( of death )
