black crack saturday
braining in the grey
chip chop, flip flop
clatter cabaret
trapclap kangaroo
prattle avenue
waxing, waxwing
saddle addle shoe
splashback alibi
scatter in the scry
phantoms, bantams
clucker clutter eye
bat flap faculty
gander galaxy
gooses, nooses
babble badger me
whip crack cadillac
adders in a sack
measles, weasles
magnets on y' back
pat shat cattle pen
patter petal wren
puddles, bubbles
singing sands & then
hopscotch otter trots
spangles in y' knots
scrumping, stumping
humping camelot
am-dram hammer throw
shatter afterglow
inking, sinking
natter as yuh go

caterpillars caterwauling ( a p o e m z e t r y )
…
slugs are humming, bugs are barking caterpillars caterwauling here is ears as i sit harking all is stalling - traffic crawling bees a drumming, worms a singing trees are standing, pins are falling churches churning, bells are ringing poltergeists & tripe is calling fleas are weaving, weasels scheming flies are rhyming, nought is scrawling suns are beams as beetles heaving dung this dungeon of a morning bread is crumbing, ants are dancing wasps are warring, dredgers trawling tow the flow as so is camping caterpillars caterwauling ... ( author notes ) i tried to write a poem yesterday but those bloody caterpillars wouldn't shut up so i just wrote this instead sorry ...

broken october ( a n o t h e r o c t o b e r p o e m )
…
a scatter of branches in phantoms of prances
& ganders with antlers in staggers of dances
a mist in the mizzle, a fist in the riddle
a maze in the haze of the fade-fiddle-diddle
or bitch in a battle, a witch in a cackle
as swan is the addle with bats on the saddle
at then in the morning as woodland is spawning
an octopus crawling with tentacles trawling
& down spins the plover as brown is the clover
it's piss it & biscuits - it's broken october

spin in the midlands ( f u c k b u l l s h i t i n g b u s y b o d i e s & c a r r y o n )
…
north is a war
spartans in tartan
fighting with vikings
blood on the ice
snows in the crow
east is a dragon
lizards & whispers
fire & rice
noodles to boot
west is a wizard
ringing the weather
pissing the wet
southern is sun
fleas & diseases
people are cheeses
swimming in sweat
gleam in the green
hog in a hedgerow
echo & echo
stars on a chart
stars on a chart
spin in the midlands
goldilock's garden
- derbyshire's heart
