magnetic gossip

magnetic gossip ( the story of my life but made up & a poem instead )

…




the honeydew egg guilds the fright

as pigeon children clubfoot night

the clever elbow welds the sleight

& hapless harp strings harness turd


the headhunted hen hoops the blight

as bastard blankets blowtorch rite

the quantum beanpole quests the quite

& freckled is the speckled word


the hiatus goose combs the sprite

as blockhead blackbirds fudge the spite

the startled starfish veils the mite

& teaspoons stir the hurdled blur


the hologram gnome roams the light

as pothole pea pods blast the flight

the gurgles bite the trifled trite

& lemons curd - or so i've heard

...

august the first ( self-explanatory stuff )

…





the air was stone & damson jam

no breeze did crow as also ran

the fields were burst & baling twine

as bees had thirst for summer's wine


the scene was sewn when church bells rang

the die were thrown as baskets hang

the pine trees stirred as ivy climbed

& polecats purred as snail trails slimed


the streams still flowed as blackbirds sang

& knees still groaned when nettles stang

the cogs still burred a certain rhyme

as magpies slurred - it's curtains time

...

gasp-mask ( a poem for a muddled monday )

…





with twinkled toes as carrots glow

of breadcrumb trails & speckled hens

we bullwhip fro

& echo so

as hamsters hymn from fen to glen


with missing holes as muesli bowls

on gangrene greens & magpies sigh

we vault the foal

& scroll the stroll

as lizards squint in liquid skies


with scarpered flows as hedgerows woe

for biscuits broke & rebel wrens

we nose our blow

& crow our show

as swordfish fight the plastic pen


with jigsawed souls as bakers roll

in puddled pools & pylons pry

we salt the vole

& kiss the mole

as bubble burp - it's late july

...

pre-pour ( a true story in 15 lines )

…



the sky was mute & toothpaste stains

as high was goats & ghostly trains

the runes were prunes

come roughly noon

so groan a moan so did the drains


the clouds were shrouds of spout again

as swans sang songs & tea leaves strained

the wind blew clues

as orchards bruised

& flung dung stuck on paintings framed


the scene was snared & paired as twain

as cats spat on the window pane

the sun's balloon

was but a spoon

so dogs were frogs - the rest is rain

...

smashing

smashing ( some poetry sheet stuff sheet poem )

…




as fathead hemlock sparrows whales

& cottage combat jigsaws snails

as bootleg chieftains swarm the sprite

& twenty werewolves probe the dales


as blistered gypsies bumper balls

& vacant hipbones portal walls

as hittite hopscotch flops the night

& heatstroke beeswax warps the sprawl


as killjoy gymnasts blunt the quail

& northern pinwheels stump the ale

as hellfire hunchbacks guild the kite

& sacred crayons rib the gale


as shotgun whitsuns goat the scrawl

& potluck penguins coat the shawl

as freckled foghorns frog the blight

i sit & watch - absorb it all

...
