bright white sheet shite

~

blank white sheet shite  ( a seasonal scribble )

…




the first of the month

a crackle of popcorn

a blossom of cotton

& rabbits are wed


the chalk of the town

a clatter of chatter

as seagulls are shitting

on chefs in their nests


of dusted meringue

& cheese à la cottage

as swans sing of linen

& doves string along


with men in their coats

& albino phantoms

as mistletoe tingles

& sheep fly the flag


a knight in a van

a tower of flour

a shuffle of knuckles

the milk of the eye


& elephants lie

as sliced is the rice bread

i scribble this piffle

alone in the snow

...

 

mottoesque

~

mottoesque  ( it’s mottoesque – like a motto )

…


so do your do

as who hoots owls

to fish upon

& lick the stars


no brain, no drain

for sod is glove

as all tarts cake

arse for arse ache


we come to cheese

odd & my shite

the customer's

hallways are bright


so bee the breeze

as war is peas

to seize the daze

& flight the flight


caecilius est

in atrium

...

when cul-de-sacs attack

~

when cul-de-sacs attack ( for saint andrew & bonny scotch pancake land )

…



when cul-de-sacs attack

the paper quakes

the pens are lead


as pencils trench the desk

i don my mask

then mustard gas


as sunshine strikes the eye

beyond the blue

of blinds that rule


in kingdoms all at war

the gaps       between

the flaps of shat

...

gabbling nuts

~

gabbling nuts  ( my other poem is a manuka honey badger )

…



mist upon the fog

sodden is the trodden path

as the badgers sing


songs within the bonce

ponce upon a scorpion

tales within the sting


as the woodland brown

weasels scheme & leaves piss down

kiss a signets ring


loop the whooper's hoop

swans upon a monkey isle

gibbons in the swing


droving over stiles

stubble grows as beards appear

so the limpets cling


pipers, pies & piles

whales & bales in barns of yarns

bailing twine as string


fuddles in the dales

in the midst of second spring

winter in the wings


let the games begin

gabbling nuts & dust - til may

babble, that's the thing

a shit poem about some local idiots poem

~

a shit poem about some local idiots  ( because entropy plus karma equals shit )

…



they laugh at decay

while waxing the gibbous

in gargles of lager

the midlands in mist


a pantomime pig

a pint & a natter

a clatter of adders

the eye of a fly


the code of the toad

as blossom is snowing

the vicar is sinking

the baker is toast


a hole in the road

a fork in a blizzard

an autumn of sorts or

an early bird birth


til cometh the tap

a phantom is calling

as bantams are scrawling

the black claw

( of death )

...

winter in the wingspan

~

winter in the wingspan  ( fuck thirteen’s nasty weasel-demons & carry on )

…





autumn's squalls & balls are mortared

as the drawn at dawn are quartered

sodden is the rotten orchard

stinkin' as a binman


bollocks, hops the rabbit robin

at the rabid foxes gobbin'

yonder is a cabbage-goblin

pissin' in a tin can


as the truckin' psalms are hairy

interfuckin'planetary

phantom partridge in a pear tree

winter in the wingspan


til the muntered sun is dancing

& sunken badgers dancing

sing until the minted lamb spring

flutterings of flimflam

...

 

confusion is …

~

confusion is … ( & it glows a little something like this )

…



the clam before the storm

a walrus in a walnut tree

the polka dotted sun

a plastic mackerel sky


the owl that hoots at noon

the ship that rigged the lottery

a hop within a skip

a dish within a pie


the raisin in the rhyme

the mumbles of a bumblebee

a shuffle in a shoe

as tigers stripe the sky


the rat that drowns the rain

a puddle in the fuddle's sea

the mountaineering mole

a dragon - as a fly


the mizzle mist of list

the cardinals of syncope

the marzipan on mars

or stones of gemini


the toad that leads to rome

the living ghost of poetry

a scribble in a blink

the life & times of i
