night-writes  (  a  l i s t  t h a t  r h y m e s  )

…





slime on walls & mucus trails

vagrant slugs & pavement snails

distant hoots & sliding scales

phantom trains & rattled rails


thundered thumbs & trembled knees

staggered earth & stagnant trees

screeching owls & dreaming cheese

shapes of plough & pleiades


chattered lips & battered flaps

skittled slips & hidden traps

stubbing toes & dripping taps

cobbled webs & riddled gaps


whittled wisps & blackened roads

twiddled nose & warbled toads

borders crossed & shifting loads

shattered glass & silent codes


siren song & shuffled skies

muffled that's & fireflies

scattered cats & shining eyes

car alarms & lunar highs


sunken suns & sputtered sparks

headless monks & badger barks

spectral nuns & absent larks

sprinkled stars & splattered dark

...

…




chase a trail of sputtered dust

chaffinches & steaming chuff

radishes & bumblebees

bushes burn & trees combust


ladder on as adders puff

hinges sink & tractors rust

fingers slip & ninjas knee

whistles whip & whispers hush


winter songs of sonic thrusts

piffle vest & phonic stuff

cabbage fare & tapestries

pies alive & suppered crusts


plod the log of royal flush

chicken necks & scuppered ruff

buoyancy & dragon trees

warbled sprees & walrus tusks


toddle on for totter's truss

butterflies & fluttered fluff

saccharine & sanity

foxes brush & badger musk


wave the wand of wanderlust

happenstance & heron struts

panda prangs & pageantry

lemon haze & hazelnuts


grip a snip of scissor cuts

spittle squits & riddled scuff

rubber cheeks & nettle knees

feathered flecks & ruffled tufts


wheeze the breeze of weasel gusts

at the back & bus or bust

give a shit & fucked at sea

everything is crushed & rushed

...

 

bastard chapters

bastard chapters  (  s o m e  ~  ,  ( ? )  &  r h y m e s  )

…



double dutch & duffel masters

gubbins gurns the speckled letters

gibbon guns & gibbon quivers

servants swerve the silver platters


roman roads & woven natters

kettles spit the kitten sweaters

doric doors & auric pillars

knuckles dust the fuddled factors


morning socks & soaring raptors

lovers leap the lemon lepers

puddle punch & riddled rivers

goner rears the cheerful clappers


paper scrawls & splattered plasters

phantoms face the spectral headers

serpent shakes & lizard slithers

tipples skip the skittle scatters


marble mud & sparkled shatters

thistles mist the muddled messrs.

shepherd wool & garbled triggers

parcels pass the spattered tatters


rubber tusks & walrus actors

chuckles chess the chequered chequers

missing maps & kicking scissors

salad tongues the prattled tractors


badger cheese & nadger crackers

gutters gush the truffled feathers

pigeon piss & chicken livers

nutters sputt the buttered smackers


middle eights & chorus fractures

sibyls pick the pickled peppers

sinking suns & spun with mirrors

otters toss the bastard chapters

...

winter spurs the ankles

winter spurs the ankles  (  a  p o e m ,  d u r  . . .  )

…





spittle pans & handles

shivers shim the shingles

citrus fruits & kettles

rubber boots the rambles


fireflies & mantles

fingers glove the tingles

pheasant pecks & pebbles

ranting pants & ambles


woollen hats & brambles

welkin dusts the sprinkles

knotted vests & vessels

frosted plods the tramples


snipping skips & samples

squirrels squib the cymbals

piston rods & pedals

phantom eggs the scrambles


pasture, rugs & wrangles

weasels swipe the swindles

staggered stamps & petals

caverns bat the dangles


river mist & tangles

riddles skin the wrinkles

feathered friends & freckles

sinking suns the angles


venus, mars & candles

sparkles scar the twinkles

mezzanines & levels

kilner jars the jingles


autumn churns & mangles

summer snores the swindle

ember flecks & speckles

winter spurs the ankles
