with y’ elf

~

with y’ elf  (  fle ‘y htiw  )

…



mumble with y' elf

squawk before the dawn

utter buttercups

nutters stalk the morn


stumble with y' elf

bumble with the bees

cackle cabbage fly

scry above the trees


whistle with y' elf

whip the wind of south

west the eastern north

source the river's mouth


mizzle with y' elf

drizzle drips of hymns

drum the beat of feet

rhythm spins the limbs


chuckle with y' elf

grin the green of noon

neath the woodland's beams

'til the blooming moon


blossoms of an eve

plod the what's & where's

village weasels spy

knives within their stares


stagger with y' elf

drain the brain of dross

on a cobbled lane

blather salad toss


wander with y' elf

in a coat of grey

chase the phantom crows

flap & float away

...

 

those rose hips

those rose hips  (  spih esor esoht  )

…



a sip from a hip flask

a whiff of hibiscus


hippocrates hiccups

a hipster hypnosis


a ship in a haystack

& sing with the hinnies


as yonder a hippy

is hip-hip hooraying


a groan in the whipped bones

& hippodrome home so


with mud in the blood

& a chipped hippocampus


a hymn in the wingspan

a hippogriff flapping


the hunger of hippos

& oh, those rose hips

...

 

hang the cliché

hang the cliché  (  éhcilc  eht gnah  )

…






snow, my sweet crab apple

of my hind's eyepatch


lo, the sunset is mould

but the bread smells of noses


& the hills are a hive

as my harp is aflame


& the turds sing a dove

off the lame hymn sheet


so the twat has nine lives

& the garden is dozy


like a squawk in the park

or a scab in the dark


in the blink of a pie

with a sink & a cod


i am frost in your thighs

like a rabbit

in your head lice

how now, bouncing balls?

how now, bouncing balls?  (  ?sllab gnicnuob ,won woh  )

…






how now, bouncing balls?

seesaw sauropods

penfriend semaphore

duck quack, rubber walls


duck quack, rubber walls

splashback bladder whacks

sasquatch sassenach

crabwise waterfalls


crabwise waterfalls

eyes weep onion dice

slomo yodel so

flap, flap phantom scrawls


flap, flap phantom scrawls

fly tip tinsel toes

wassail peak & dale

town's down - streets & sprawls


town's down - streets & sprawls

sanskrit avenues

u-turn unicorns

sweet tea drinking halls


sweet tea drinking halls

burnt bush bursaries

bird brain chatter rain

chime, climbed curtain calls


chime,climbed curtain calls

headfuck flatulence

glue gun gulliver

snared hare wares & all's


snared hare wares & all's

norse gorse, stalks & hawks

celt felt feather brow

how now, bouncing balls?

untitled poem things  (  sgniht meop deltitnu  )

…




untitled poem things

sing with the winter wren

penned as the kettle sings


spawn of the morning's odes

yawning in analogue

frog hops & crawling toads


crows of the cockatoos

tea of the clipper ship

hip hip hypotenuse


tones of the broken clocks

building with rubber bricks

ticks & then token tocks


slugs in the underscores

drumming in triple slime

rhyming with thunder roars


pickle me vegetables

clover & overstep

peppermint sentinels


dogwood & spinning plates

cloaked in an oaken hood

wood chip & figure eights


sucking as lemon curds

summer is riddled pink

ink blots & bursts of birds


flaps as the chatter runs

suns as the clatter clapped

chapped lips & scatter guns


shoot as the budded leaves

nip as the ninja gnat

shat of the basket's weaves


shades of the sunless skies

wraiths in a comet's tail

stale bread & butterflies


rip tides & broken wings

spin as the spindle's spun

untitled poem things

satsuma star

~

satsuma star  (  rats amustas  )

…





satsuma star

rise like the shining


still sunken sun

citric & sparkles


swoop in the mute

yawns of the morning


ghost of a sky

phantom of plasma


over the leas

carotene phoenix


i with my eyes

stand on the rec's edge


five twenty five

spins on a sixpence


swan in a squint

sweet ginger ninja
