backend ( ish )  (  p o e t i c a l  m o n k e y  t e n n i s  )

…



in the trudge of trodden apples

orchard forth with mud beneath us

sodden squawking of a morning

dead ahead & squash a squish


breezes sneeze as leaves are feathers

spiders cider, spores are roaring

petals settle - clutch y'heather

grab a rake & shake a whish


sing the song of snails & coffins

hogget with the dogs & roses

crows of maidens - ghosts of goblins

swirl in circles - bosh a bish


phantoms yawning - spines a chiming

down y'ale & chase a fairy

roundabouts & face the hairy

bastard bear of - backend ( ish )

chequered ligers

chasing paper

snails & nacre

custard skinned


bear incisors

trousers tearing

mayors are pairing

towns are twinned


streets & criers

thunder rumbles

faces jumble

bass is binned


sinning spiders

skipping shepherds

stripes of leopards

limes are dimmed


grab y'lighters

sing of splinters

spring in squinters

peaches tinned


tartan tigers

stars are weaving

dreams & streaming

beans are stringed


headless friars

crows & sparrows

dancing shadows

phantom limbed


china pipers

whisper riddles

bristle nipples

whistle wind

squawking in a haunted orchard

squawking in a haunted orchard  (  t r u e  s t o r y  v e r s u s  b o l l o c k s  v e r s e  )

…


squawking in a huanted orchard

as the spider spies a fly

tipper in the morning's yawning

litter england's lullaby

sailors whale the broken oceans

& the salmon samurai

squawking in a haunted orchard

as the spider spies a fly


squeaking bleeps of speaker's cornered

as the phantoms wave a bi

plane up in the welkin's squelching

& the cattle calcify

like a brain or plastic kettle

in the squirrel of an eye

squeaking bleeps of speaker's cornered

as the phantoms wave a bi


fusing spew as quarks are quartered

dragons roar on moorland's high

lights as sprites in tights & stockings

rob a river's water dry

apples crab as pears are haring

pigeons pinch the piper's pie

fusing spew as quarks are quartered

dragons roar on moorland's high


sing of kings as bricks are mortared

& the kippers twist a tie

breaker in the fish's quizzes

as the acids alkali

when the doggers clash with joggers

then the otters ossify

as the wood-witch-doctor ordered

in the orchard's squid - squawk i

warble scrawls as woodlands ring

petalled bells & nettles sting

wings within the drips of spring

reservoirs of repertoire


sirens on the grain & ale

whales upon a sliding scale

squawks up in an autumn dale

inklings pissing on a star


yoke the eggs of scrambled codes

music breeds with prose in odes

so it rains & vans shat loads

- yodel from a cable car


rabid swans of avalon

marbles, mars & babylon

everyone is trad-anon

bards & bars of trar luh lar
