cobweb watchers

~

cobweb watchers  (  srehctaw bewboc  )






cobweb watchers

watching the cobwebs


wraiths of the gateposts

ghosts on the ceiling


clouds for the cloudless

bespoke & woven


hang in the attic

facing a maze


spying a spider

feast on a greenfly


fruits of arachne

dance in the drafting


cobweb watchers

watching the cobwebs


tangle & strangle

- who watches us

( ? )

fuck knows

scrawling spring

~

scrawling spring  (  gnirps gnilwarcs  )







marble mars, saturn spins

needles weave, tapestries


spilling ink, egrets dip

feathered tips, water wings


pencil then, swans upon

estuaries, egging legs


mustard cress, crested newts

bursting blue, newish shoes


piffle pen, polka dots

chickenpox, spotted cows


seek the sound, roudabouts

underground, snorkelling


doves above, branches bat

bakers roll, inner-hills


kiss the fist, pigeon spit

swim within, mutant ooze


shake a fist, stir a bear

rabbit on, spur the hare


croaking odes, blossom hops

labyrinths, balls of string


history, histamine

seven seas, factor three


lemon trees, thermal vest

odd 'n' pods, peas 'n' queues


nodding dogs, hyacinth

mackerel sprats, hieroglyphs


purple path, further blurs

scrying eyes, scrawling spring


fingers slip, flutter dust

butter beans, buttercups


spilling this - vernal verse

seeking green, warning yous

of in between

~

of in between  (  neewteb ni fo  )





trudge in the mud with legs of lead

a pillar behind, a post ahead


roam in the gloaming's sliding scale

a sting in the tip of winter's tail


a crocus of frogs, the boxing hare

a cross on a map, the what's of where


a mumble of bees, a tongue of twist

a serpent of stirs, the ticks of list


a tocking of clocks & sup of tea

a beast from the east - a storming sea


the wet of the west, the north of south

the spittle of spin, a frothing mouth


a bubble of burst, the birding ode

a fawn of a morn, a crawling toad


a scrawl in the dawn of histamine

the seasonal mists of in between

...
























 

baggy tracky beez

~

baggy tracky beez  ( zeeb ykcart yggab  )






under shrouded cloud

inner-blue cagoule

bobbing with the trees


on a pavement grey

plodding with the dog

breathing with the breeze


hooded in a wood

seek the stuff of mud

trudging on the leas


mush is up above

swirling with the birds

sing a song of peas


squawk & all is balls

sport is war for pigs

with lobotomies


wobble on a lane

village weasels weave

phantom fantasies


chasing paper planes

comfort jangles keys

baggy tracky beez


whistle with the wind

flapping with the flags

fashionista meez

nap beneath the catkins

~

nap beneath the catkins  (  sniktac eht htaeneb pan  )






budding with the roses

rising like a plinth

roaming of a morning

seeking hyacinth


higher, cries the iris

up the bastard hills

croaking with the crocus

sniffing daffodils


green are england's pastures

pale's the ermines fur

pace the paths of woodland

as the branches purr


nap beneath the catkins

snoring forth & deep

winterland has thawed

- but -

spring is still asleep

brussel sprout ode

~

brussel sprout ode  (  edo tuorps lessurb  )






fruit of the belgians

toots in the garden


guffing & pardon

sprouting about


gas of the grocer

dancing with onions


singing with chillies

- stews or a curry


- hark, in the darkness

swans beyond christmas


sort of a friend or

a hot water bottle


truffle of brussels

salt of the smurf's earth


sauté with chestnuts

so a concerto


pop blows the weasel

bubbles are squeaking


playing me anus

swinging with monkeys


cabbage of winter

green is the evening


guzzle & trumpet

- brassica's brass
