on the way owl  (  a r e n ‘ t  w e  a l l  . . .  ?  )





yesterday's turnips

thunder & cumbric

scribbles in cloudburts

pebbles & ponds


doggerland trousers

oscan appendix

shingles in dingles

tawny & night


lamplight papyrus

mastodon measles

sails in the seaman

quaggas & cakes


glacial dodos

phantoms of carrots

snowy & bridges

hoots in the loot

...

(  f u c k  i t  )  (  a  p o e m  )





whisper a petal

sing in the kettle

spittle & rivers

spin in the settle


stumble a trundle

stung in the bundle

mutters & mirrors

tongue in the mumble


yodel a chorus

odes in the walrus

skippers & scissors

tow in the tortoise


feather a florist

pox in the porridge

weather & wither

hops in the coppice


shepherd a farmer

pecks in the parlour

pillars & timber

shits in the harbour


thunder a coda

sun in the clover

under & quiver

glow in the over

...

















































































 

circles in the burbles

circles in the burbles  (  a  p o e m  &  m e o p  a  )




...

circles in the burbles

knuckle dust & buster

swans-a-song a linger

fingers in the butter


fingers in the butter

limber spring & squinter

sing a dawn o' walrus

tortoise in the sprinter


tortoise in the sprinter

suckle sun & teeter

riddles spin the piddles

scribbles in the aether


scribbles in the aether

bubble burst & bursar

pincers pip the apples

mammals in the murmur


mammals in the murmur

natterjacks & natter

turtles tooting scooters

surplus in the adders


surplus in the adders

xanadu & looters

higher pi the vocals

kippers in the suitors


kippers in the suitors

rosaries & oval

lemon teas the curdles

twinkles in the tonal


twinkles in the tonal

stutter, slur & hurdles

gurgles in the gerbils

circles in the burbles

a shite poem

a shite poem  (  b u t  b o n u s  p o i n t s  f o r  h o n e s t y  )



in the foam of evensong

as bedfordshire is brawling

petrichor is herring

& the plover's toe is mauve


silage is a slithering

as slippers in the stomach

swans upon a turnip

as badger fucks a fox


lemon trees are purring

as the apple in the castle

blobs within the bucket

as a gibbon shats a log


flume - i hear you pewter

from the london planetarium

sneeze - i cheese the big nose

of the lost sphinx

of antartica
