a spawning dawn

~

a spawning dawn  (  nwad gninwaps a  )




a spawning dawn, a cloak of oak


the tingles of the teasel's thorns


the claws of crows & phantoms croak



of ants in pants & socrates


in pantomime - in attica


within a wood, a swan a breeze



a kite of pipes, a peaking trough


the barking gnarls of derbyshire


a daze the shade of stroganoff



upon the leas - a badger, hark


a walrus in a walnut tree


a fleet of frogs & joan of arc



the sound of clouds, the pound of ooze


upon the toad to mandalay


a flute of newts & speckled dogs



a sort of door, a yawning fawn


an otter in a glossary


the blear of deer - a spawning dawn

seek the lemon sun

~

seek the lemon sun  (  nus nomel eht kees  )





snare the air of hares in lockets

shrews in shoes & voles in pockets

weasel wheezes, sneezing breezes

snorting horses, chairs & rockets


spin the span of misted thickets

pant the ants of leaping crickets

in the sprawling of the morning

licking stamps & sticking wickets


squawk the chalk of rabid rabbits

smoke the crow of flaps in attics

hymns the mizzle in the drizzle

sacks of sand & spuds in jackets


song the sing of holes in buckets

scrawling balls & stringing puppets

speak & spelling - bells are knelling

seek the lemon sun - & suck it

...








































































































 

patches of purple

~

patches of purple  (  elprup fo sehctap  )





august is spawning

spinning a plate

up on the moorland

pieces of eight


sprawling the scrawling

mumble a drum

stumbles of thunder

puddles of plum


hymning a vista

pan on a pipe

sing with the pippit

dance with the snipe


swirling in spirals

maiden to crone

mosses & lichen

circles of stone


tors in the taper

grumbles of fuck

lavender's cousin

bundles of luck


squawk of a morning

out of y'house

flap with the lapwing

howl with the grouse


scramble the pastures

above the leas

roving with plover

droving the breeze


autumn is stirring

treasure the warm

patches of purple

heather the storm

...
































































 

build a castle from a sandwich

~

build a castle from a sandwich  (  hciwdnas a morf eltsac a dliub  )





squawking on in steps & stumbles

leaden legged & specks of scumbles


neath the beeches & the oaken

speak the splatter of unspoken


sunken hymns & bits of bobbins

sylpihd finches, bobbing robins


drain the brain of pitter pattern

spinning with the rings of saturn


mumble drums & bumble riddles

bee the beat until it drizzles


crusted crumbs & scraps of language

build a castle from a sandwich


telephones & springing onions

metronome the dung of dungeons


in the scribble of the scrawling

swans upon a misted morning

...































































 

the ink within

~

the ink within  (  nihtiw kni eht  )





the ink within a swimming head

a pencil case, a lick of lead

the spy of i as spiders spin

a web within a potting shed


a pinching punch, a scrunch of scrap

a burst of birds , a flock of flap

the spots 'n' dots of let's begin

a basin brain, a dancing tap


a spoke ode, a bumblebee

the lottery of prosody

a broken strophe, a stroke of chin

a storm within a cup of tea


the mumbles of a riddle's rhyme

a knelling bell, a distant chime

a phantom scrawl, a drawing pin

a trail of snail - the stuff of slime


a sort of door, a river too

a gleaming stream, a whiff of glue

a smorgasbord, a dorsal fin

a burning bush, a turning shrew


the chattering of hinterlands

a song upon the sinking sands

the spouting out of inner-spin

the parps & larks of marching bands


the daze of rain, a paper plane

the once upon of swans again

a squirm of worms within a tin

the hazy daze of gravy train


the ink within a swimming head

a pencil case, a lick of lead

the spy of i as spiders spin

but that'll do - & back to bed

...

the lens of fog

~

the lens of fog  (  gof fo snel eht  )






the lens of fog is misted here

a frog of fudge, a smudge, a smear


the speak of sleep & catch awake

the branches dance as antlers shake


a cloak of oak, a hood of wood

it's analogue & stump's the stood


a snarl of gnarls, a sneeze of trees

& earthen squirms beneath the breeze


upon this swan, a song of fade

a signet ring within the glade


the blinkers bat an attic's stead

a hinterland of licks of lead


with legs of bread - a nip of cat

a dripping tap, a coup d'etat


a slap of chin & churn of shrew

the game of tame & gurgle through


a glossary of tosser i

a ship within a bottlefly


the kipper years, a leaping weir

the goggle stuff of ginger beer


the tocks of ticks & bricks of wall

the flight of eyes & rise of fall


upon a hill, the staggers stand

the hare is there, a marching band


that blasts until the see is stars

a repertoire of reservoirs


so pen until the doze of dog

within the mist - the lens of fog
