the land of sheep

~

the land of sheep ( some shite )

…



this is the land of sheep - 'tis true

this is the land of rams & ewes

each blurry spring as birds they sing

the population mushroom-booms


this is the land of sheepish folk

bashful shepherds asleep neath oaks

in pastures green ( sometimes serene )

as wolves in woollen clothes encroach

...

 

on the sheet

~

on the sheet ( some sheet )

…



we're on the sheet

yes as we do

once more unto

a sheet or two

a sneeze - achoo

a squeeky shoe

good morning all

good evening you


bring me my ink

my shitty pens

& special lens

for hidden gems

please some of them

aye know thy sen

we're on the sheet

again

( the end )

...

























( author notes )

in case you were unaware

sen means self,

nice 1

 

breadcrumb trails

breadcrumb trails ( some ?-verse )

…


i've been following breadcrumb trails

along yon rivers in them dales

for years & counting - through time's mist

oh mystery - your tail tells tales


or so folk say yet here no luck

in lieu of clues i'm quackin' up

the trail's gone stale, my shape it shifts

so now - oh fuck

i am a duck

...

crackin’ in

~

crackin’ in ( coz rhymes can be free too )

…


crackin' up?

crackin' in

tentacles

pack it in


kraken yous

natterjack

bubblewrap

cul-de-sacs


toad on road

air pockets

soothsayers

eye sockets


portents here

bubble burst

stub a toe

ow - that hurts


~


phone a friend?

make one up

be a bee

sup, sup, sup


wear a face

don a gown

i've seen her

around town


vanishings

stroke an ear

candlemas

disappear


turnip wars

piffle vest

sandwiches

( bless this mess )

crafted by hand

crafted by hand ( some truths & out the other one )

…




all of these poems

are crafted by hand

no fancy machines

as it's art - isan


but just who is anne?

you misunderstand

no robotic prods

just shat pen - that's grand


as birds boss the skies

as sheep graze the land

one scribbles on sheets

shit riddles of man


it's bespoke ( of course )

all part of the plan

so don't knock this wank

'twas crafted by hand

...

a cloudless sky

~

a cloudless sky ( disturbing sheet indeed )

…




a cloudless sky

where have they gone?

just clueless blue

something is wrong


the sun dial smiles

yet can't explain

this lack of shade

this lack of rain


perhaps the clouds

last stormy night

fell out with god

then went on strike


thence huffed their way

behind the moon

to hide a while

please come back soon
