lost in muesli ( ilseum ni tsol )

…

deader than prince phillip
rosencratz or elvis

woe’s a broken flow
a simian simile

a monkey up a tree
a gibbon wrapped in ribbons

the road ahead is blueness
& not on google earth

the birth of venus teases
a botticelli bot

& huff behind the blinds
saving us from daylight

the morn’ before i saw
a kingfisher catch

a freshwater kraken
the size of an ice cream van

& ran home to tell
the man on the news

who laughed at my tale
the rest’s a beached whale

a bee in a sonnet
a pocketful of breadcrumbs

dreaming still of yous
in me unlaced oxford shoes

august salad

august salad ( dalas tsugua )

…

buddleia burn
butterfly churn
church mouse trouser leg
beach towel owl
pie chart charlemagne
bargain bin sinbad
blackberry beret
ants in flying pants
sugar paper trail
goblin holiday
garden gnomes roaming
gobi aloo desert
carbonated penfriends
cartoon cartwheels
slowly, homeward lancelot
knights creeping in
outbound hourglass
money maker ketchup
marigold standard
carpal tunnel vision
oft on occasions
turning leafen tables
snakes in the loft
octavian’s moth

while plums ripen

while plums ripen ( nepir smulp elihw )

…

eat late strawberries

or early blackberries

     in these changeling days

     the arse end of july

hairy like a hare

or mrs slocombe’s pussy

      note of the fallen

      the long gone snowdrops

broad beans down

but the runners yet to come

      clouds in the sky

      spell the word – pareidolia

when we squint & tilt

our eyes & neck respectively

      in between squeezes

      in the tantalising orchard

still to hard

like your nan on nandrolone

      huffing as we spot

      kestrels catching flying ants

hurry up then, plums

we haven’t got all summer

      cry the crumble bakers

      & restless jam makers

a pizza the puzzle

a pizza the puzzle ( elzzup eht azzip a )

…

stuffed-crust crosswords

stone baked rubic’s cube

su-doku meat feast

mind-blown hawaiians

tongues tasting twisters

foggy margarita

ponders in the parlour

calzone anagrams

crptic french bread

patterns in the scatters

of the quizmaster’s toppings

four seasons’s jigsaw

…

etc ( etc )

eleven tanzanian chefs

eating tarantula cobwebs

english tinkers conga

estonian tailors clap

elbows turning clockwise

evening’s tide crawls

echoing toad croaks

every thursday comes

exorcising the curate

egging tomorrow’s codswallop

ending to continue
