purring like a cataract
as a splatter of a splatter of a fact
mattering like missing links
glugging like those kitchen sinks
smiling like the morning sun
choking like a smoking gun
gloaming like the even’ tide
falling fast – with her abide
floating like a sylphid friend
futures blooming past the bend
dancing like the pants of ants
blessing like a second chance
sneezing like a garden gnome
larking while the statues roam
shining like an eggheads crown
if the noon is booming down
bucking like a fucking mule
steaming like a bowl of gruel
rocky like gibraltar’s strait
wonky like the curate’s gait
likeable – just like a like
rideable like old school bikes
such is her analogy
like another – simile

wisteria ears
ice cream eyes
endearing deer horns
& a mouthful of salad
but a birdsong smile

pineapple poets
painting paddleboats purple
pensively pausing
plink plonk pianos
penguin penfriends pickle prose
pluviophiles purr
pastoral pirates
perplex peevish poltergeists
pigeons peck pancakes
peter piper prays
precipitation’s pending
plentiful puddles

fire extinguisher
rubber chickens
bucket loads of brevity
pickled peppers
a wanker hat
the kitchen bloody sink
& your memory

milk float
coffee hover
lemonade sail away
tea on a breeze
water waft
ginger ale drifting
milk float
gently quenching

little miss muffet
shat in a bucket
the bog was too far
& she was touching cloth
– so fuck it
