i’d pike to peach the pearl to ping

i’d pike to peach the pearl to ping  (  a  p o e t r y  )

…




i'd bike to bilge the worm a gnome

& burnish shit with love

crow faculties & punny bees

& snow shite turtle doves


i'd spike to speech the whirl to wing

in perspex armoury

i'd like to colditz in my palms

& seasick tuscany


i'd hike to scree the swirl for bonce

squall brassing band in band

& hear them hedgerow through the squills

for peas throughout the bland


i'd pike to peach the pearl to ping

in pervert larceny

i'd like to fold it in my arse

& keep it company

my other poem is …  (  a  s c r i b b l e  )

…





the prince regent of greenland

the lost keys of a skeleton

a gibbon & an englishman

an otter in an orangery

a rose within the clover

the antlers of an antelope

the saddest song a swan can mime

a whitsun eve on ganymede

september in november

the mustard in y' custard cream

the dots that spot the tiger's stripes

a spider sky - an alibi

the bread that leavens lemons

an odyssey stroke lottery

a prat amongst the pigeons &

a black hole in the coal shed

( ! )

...

 

bolts of blue

~

bolts of blue  (  h m m m m m m m  )

…




if i am herring red

then you are bolts of blue

the tac upon the wall

a silent touch of flu


with nick the prick above

& deep the denim seas

a crack of robin's egg

a whiff of stilton's cheese


or prussian lightning strike

the grease of bottled fly

the periwinkle moon

or juniper jam sky


a blaze of flame in spring

as neptune blooms & rings

the berry saddest song

a bird or whale can sing


& so, the yonder's swan

no bye or toodleooh

if i am herring red

then you are bolts of blue

cabbage mathematical

cataracts & anoraks

snippet up & scribble this

squawking to y' elf again

pebbles in a pencil case

buttons of the onion sun

portals in a portaloo

petals on a rose's thorn

scissor kicks & waterloo

poetry with broken toes

otters in an orangery

smatterings of scatterings

mother moon & sister mist

beast before easter

~

beast before easter  (  h m m m m m m m  )

…


bats in the attic

the battle of jutland

is naps in a foundry

& houses in huts


woods on the woodchip

achoo & confucius

a clatter of cushions

a scatter of struts


stalking the morning

a pun in the oven

as sirius dribbles

& riddle's the mutts


mist is a vista

it's greener on venus

a deer in y' earwig

& stagger the ruts


sit isaac newton

it's grey in y' ashtray

the eye of a neutron

a tab for y' butts


queen nefertiti

a spoon in the treacle

& barks in the darkness

a trundle of guts


pearls in a swirlwind

a natter of napkins

so beast before easter

& may contain nuts


throbs of thrombosis

plus frogs & trombonists

a river of scissors

the kicks & the cuts

...

the lady of the lakeland car park bust-up


colonel mustard's flustered bustard


captain birdseye's pirate cousin


rameses the gravy train spotter

ganymede & bring a bottle


badgers from andromeda

ring bell for service

when we were elves

pebble dashed wednesday

quarter past pine nuts

raspberry ripples

i want your rabies

oliver cromwell

rain on the glass roof

pen in the morning

peter the goatherd

marmalade marching

squirms in a cancan

sodium gnosis

sir humphrey davey

lumps in the gravy

is this the real life?

is this just fantasy?
