spring rain poem  (  g o  o n  ,  t a k e  a  w i l d  g u e s s  c h a s e  )

…




drip upon a buttercup

double dusk & rubber ducks

tingles in the spindle tree

mizzle eve & pucker up


drop upon a daffodil

clatter songs of cladophyll

brazaville - its brasseries

tapestries & badger bilge


drip upon a hyacinth

header, line & hyroglyph

otter wins the lottery

hoverfly & cycle clips


drop upon a bell o' blue

retinas & red canoes

levity in leprosy

reverie & retinues


drip upon a celandine

mother 'erb & lemon thyme

supper in the scullery

stuttery - & bread 'n' wine


drop upon a garden's gnome

gargle on & gardens hose

greenery in preening leas

marbleous & gardens glow

sinnel spoons the spirals

simmer ditch & rifles

spittle tricks the mizzle

nutter noons & cycles


faster sings the badger

hinter-lamb & pasture

scatter squids the scribble

natterjacks & aster


easter rings the steeple

seasonally as measles

river mists the drizzle

greenery & weasels


blossom hops the maple

rub-abud & hazel

bollocks itch the fiddle

fuck a duck - it's april

poem missing

have you seen it?

wormed & mongrel

bites if cornered


& you're ginger

lives on daydreams

cake & nectar

winged & feathered


seven antlers

toes of oboe

feeds the pigeons

wonky nostrils


floats on puddles

boats & bubbles

born last whitsun

( a u t h o r  n o d e s  )

if you see someone

out & about

& you don't know them

& said person is looking in their pockets

don't go up to them

& ask them what they're looking for

- that's nosy & a bit wank

-

someone did that to me earlier

so i told them fuck off & mind their own business

& they deserved that

( wankers )

doctor otter’s pocket  (  a  s t o r y  p o e m  )

…





bramble bursts the baron's

punctured rubber milkmaid

rivers oar the miller's

waterwheel 'n' sprocket


muffles moth the matron's

candlemas & lampshade

whispers spur the vicar's

lunar looper rocket


treacle tweeds the teacher's

weasel limbs & patches

spittle sticks the seaman's

mizzle-misted docket


fiddle fleas the miner's

collier dog & scratches

spindle spins the spider's

cider eyes in sockets


lasers ray the baker's

meter-reader robot

scramble cracks the eggman's

omelette bonce & pop it


corners war the speaker's

gruffle goat & soapbox

dangles hang the peaklands

curbar edge & frogget


leopards spot the shepherd's

polka dotted flock socks

squinter spins the spinster's

silver phantom locket


lepers lap the saucer's

welkin warbled whatnots

onions in the duffeled

doctor otter's pocket
