pick a pickled  ( delkcip a kcip )

…


pick a pickled cabbage rhyme

acid brain & alkaline

dance a heap of steaming sheet

panting ants & pantomime


play the petered piper's bags

stitch the witch of tattered rags

hop the lair of yonder hare

may the pole & fly with flags


smoke the mope of dopamine

spilling hills as oceans gleam

figaro the river so

flap a bat & cat the cream


spot the dog & stone a prune

float with ghosts & lick the moon

pick a pickled cabbage rhyme

spiral in the afternoon

june is a balloon

~

june is a balloon  ( noollab a si enuj )

…



once upon a calendar

as the moth of may

scarpers on sabbatical

larks & fades away


annually, a sort of door

creaks as finches fledge

hymns emerge from bursting beaks

singing in the hedge


canticles & clattertrap

with the woodland elves

gnomes are mowing astroturf

poems write themselves


photographs are tapestries

rabbits catch the clap

underneath a cloak of oak

shepherds wank & nap


roses glow beside the lane

snakes awake & doze

flutterings of butterfly

pollen up y' nose


gleaming is a silver stream

as the rivers run

breezes frisk the greening trees

underneath the sun


allium & lavender

blooming like the moon

summer is a gravy train

june is a balloon


roving as a floating ghost

in the spindle sky

soaring with the twinkle balls

up until july

this country lane

this country lane  (  enal yrtnuoc siht  )

…



quivers in a blue cagoule

hum a hymn & wander on

crows & poems peck the head

squawking with this ball & chain


flutters in the moth of june

puddles pool - a splosh of feet

fingers slip as noses drip

buttercups are on the brain


fields of wheat are shifting seas

waving as the thunder drums

mumbles in a shroud of cloud

jumble down this country lane


til the sun erupts & smiles

glow with ghosts & rove for miles

float if roses war with thorns

bee the breeze & sup the rain

( cheers )

a busman’s hologram  (  margoloh s’namsub a  )

underneath the onion skin

larks in the garden


cobwebs, snarks bark

iridescent belgians


in the otter's pocket watch

mountains & fountains


yahweh yodels

saxophones & sandwiches


up the leopard's lemon tree

phantasmic mermen


martians, martens

aubergines & overtures


all aboard the h.m.s

charles bonnet syndrome


intergalactic

gastroenteritis

four months from candlemas

four months from candlemas  (  sameldnac morf shtnom ruof  )

…




four months from candlemas

music spews into the breeze

crops crow & roses glow

buttercups suckle the bees

hymns spin as plover rove

squirrels jig up in the trees

four months from candlemas

music spews into the breeze


four months from candlemas

butterflies flutter the sky

goosegrass & dragon snaps

dragonflies, tangles & i

snarks bark as gardens glow

rivers flow - glimmering by

four months from candlemas

butterflies flutter the sky


eight months til candlemas

all that is greening shall brown

death wakes & branches shake

people wheeze, sneeze & fall down

seas change - the kitchen sinks

kiss the mist, whistle & drown

eight months til candlemas

all that is greening shall brown


four months from candlemas

stroll in the doldrums of noon

growl til the owlets howl

under a hologram moon

strum with the lemon sun

sung on the second of june

four months from candlemas

hummin' this folkin' folk tune
