folk magnet  (  a  p o e m  )


thimbles thatch the beans

penguins pepper evergreens

puffin muffins means


purple curtains cats

curdle jams the jungle gnat

adders hatch the rat


quiver winter queens

rivers shovel submarines

buzzards tambourine


herd is hare the pat

air is square the chairman splats

opera ox the bat


blisters double cream

blizzards mutton butter spleens

bubble mezzanine


puddle plugs the plait

warble woads a woven hat

so soak flay - & that

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

i dribble birds of pickle hearse - my bends - they blink i'm plaid

to turd a sleigh & slime the flay & feet through dong & fad

to hen the bongs that swill the gongs

& flights that pie my pipe

i dribble birds of pickle hearse but loft this snakes me lad
