lines upon a sun-daze  (  a  p o e t r y  o f  m o r n )

…




finder's fleas & fire eaters

kettles storming phantom castles

myrmidons & water meters

sugar lumps the sunken camel


leopard spots & chequered cheetahs

lizards rigging ruffled raffles

anagrams & sea verb beavers

bakers roll the battered barrel


melon groves & lemon squeezers

badgers bobbing rotten apples

butchery & eager cleavers

reavers reap the babble's battle


locust swarms & lotus eaters

fingers slipping - fumble grapples

summer's sleet & winter's easter's

whispers in the haunted chapel

the fog is flap

the fog is flap  (  a  p o e t r y  o f  p o e m  )

…



the fog is flap & glen's the fen

that fleck's the speck & sense the sen

the head is nest & peck's the hen

as sing's the spring & wren's the pen


the tread is shell & egg's the on

that rings the bells & spells the gone

the year is beer & blear's the yon

as hog's the hedge & spear's the swan


the flute is flue & flight's the flow

that caws the roar & tugs the tow

the bask is black & night's the glow

as brawn's the morn & dawn's the crow


the ink is finch & glide's the walk

that plods the squab & gobs the squawk

the wood is toots & scoot's the stalk

as spy's the eye & sight's the hawk


the wing is string & pot's the luck

that spills the bills & quacks the cluck

the whirl is pool & spool's the struck

as rain's the thwack & back's the duck


the speak is beak & spin's the spurred

that seeks the seed & spoons the stirred

the ruff is plume & hoot's the slurred

as burst's the merge & blur's the bird

breadcrumbs

breadcrumbs  (  a  ?  )

…




a flicker in the vicarage

a tingle in the toe

a ripple in the waterbed

a footprint in the snow


a feather in the dresser drawer

a pebble in the shoe

a marble in the garden shed

a spanner in the screw


a ladder in the library

a needle in the mow

a weasel in the binary

a dagger in the glow


a clover in the grocer's store

a vista in the view

a cipher in the spider's web

a pencil in the clue

scrawl calls

scrawl calls  (  o n e  o ‘  t h e m  p o e m  t h i n g s  )

…




sonnets spun of consonants

bibles swiped of b's

novels penned for ombudsmen

graphs of graffiti


hoi poloi - the corduroy blears

horns & headers three

magic maps for morris men

missing sheets of key


anagram the agar man

scrapes of symmetry

speckles in the river mist

spurts of herbal tea


squinter whiffs of potpourri

warble binary

portals in the otter ink

plods of podded pea


feather in the blether cap

flaps of tapestry

squiggles in the kitchen sink

squints of symphony


bubble bursts & stumble stubs

bubmles of the bee

doodles drawn of noodle spawn

dawdle diary


dialogues for miming troupes

notes on groceries

diatribes & scattered scribes

hagiographies


babbles on for babylon

scribbles soak the sea

saturn suns the dagger cloak

poetry of tree

sozzer plods  (  a  p o e m  )

…



the trudge is fudge & brussel sprout

as cabbage spins the sauerkraut

& rivers leap the salmon trout

it's bubble in this praetor out


the thaw is gnaw & puddle daze

as badgers cask the drunken rays

& ladders snake the puzzle maze

it's sable in this mayonnaise


the stead is bread & phantom limbs

as weasels sweep the onion skins

& squinter whips the water wings

it's portal in this caudal fin


the shim is shrew & rubber ball

as butter toads the splutter scrawl

& curtains spurt the splutter crawl

it's scribble in this overhaul

...

 

radishes & raspberries

radishes & raspberries

cabbages & cavalry

horsing on

in snort & swan

canter clops & basketry


freckled specks & friaries

pheasant peck & spidery

phantom scrawls

on tattered walls

in the inns & libraries


twiddle toes & rosemary

ribulose & groceries

ticking lists

in mists of wisp

ants in pants & hosiery


adder tongues & alchemy

ladder rungs & rhapsody

clanging bells

in wells & spells

forest floors & canopies


sunken suns & tumbleweed

drunken nuns & bumblebees

buzzing by

in buzzard skies

bubble burst & summer breeze


colonnades & colonies

orangeade & socrates

scratching heads

& snatching veg

podded peas & broccoli


lemon tea & leprosy

levity & sesame

cracking safes

& smashing plates

eccles cakes & melody


otter toss & blackberries

totters off & tapestries

weaving yarns

in sleeping barns

sneezing stars & galaxies

the puzzle shooter  (  a  p o e m  )

…




parapets & paratroopers

parrots pecking speckled roosters

onion rings & solar saturn

pupils swat the ogre tutor


penguin suits & twinkled pewter

tudors smocking wrinkled suitors

battle ships & phantom caverns

dragons snap the shattered rulers


pepper pots & barracudas

puffins tooting stolen scooters

knotted vests & battered taverns

badgers blast the silver tuba


snorkel snorts & sunken scuba

drunken tinkers trawling sewers

pitta bread & splattered patterns

settle sings the puzzle shooter
