backing bounce ( a rhyme for saint gubbin’s day )

…




sink a song of submarines

headless fish & guillotines

raspy gasps of gasoline

tumbleweed & runner beans


gob a gloss of magazines

thinning ice & figurines

donkey nights of carotene

philistines & nazarenes


flick a fleet of limousines

weasel cheese & tambourines

stretchy friends of plasticine

twisty tongues of tangerines


clash a smash of smithereens

chickenpox & slot machines

frothy troth's in evergreens

dictionaries & trampolines

september expects ( a seasonal list-poem-thing )

…




nifty hips & rosy reds

chickenpox & foggy heads

fairy folk & silky webs

skeins of geese & woven threads


misty plods & rusty screws

unicorns & dusty hues

leprosy & itchy clues

burning barns & holes in trews


weepy trees & springy steads

conker fests & sunny dregs

shifty nymphs & leafy beds

shapes of wraiths & weeping ebbs


steamy hobs & soupy brews

groaning gales & muddy shoes

bony dales & fungi spew

apple carts & harvest moons

...

flipping fridges ( some piffle for your whistle )

…





flipping fridges

lick & stick it

toffee apple

bramble thicket

sticky wickets

rippled digits

tangled ankles

scissor snippets


pickled rickets

sizzled skillets

rubber duckies

fucking frigates

gibber gibbets

clinking trinkets

bubble bloody

piss & drink it

...

& ampersands

& ampersands ( a poem for a sunny saturday in late octavian )

…





summer sputtered somersaults

sugar dusted nuts 'n' bolts

wonky woodland fairylands

ginger ninja hairy hands


weather peppered pillared salts

river rippled pissing vaults

apple pipping contraband

atom-splitting one man bands


snappy-raspy rusty bolts

neatly sinking double malts

cotton cloudy high command

drowning frowning firebrands


pistol whitsun triggered jolts

gravy shocking stocking volts

whittled witless witness stands

grainy fading sinking sand


spewing carrot thunderbolts

open casting miner faults

wrestled restless reprimands

spooning tuning music stands


ever churning swirling waltz

pheasant peasant bird revolts

pensive pencil rubber bands

monkey maps & ampersands

...

shapes of apes

shapes of apes ( a true story & poem in places too )

…





the dales are ales & bursting birds

of bastard flaps & thirsting words

the ink is blinks & blank's the sheets

as weasels scheme & ladles stir


the morn is fawn & biscuit shades

of wanky wheat & sandy beige

the bonce is moors & bogs of peat

as teapots sing & august fades


the mouth is clouds & shrouded blurs

of citrus shreds & lemon curd

the dog is snores & depths of sleep

as talk is slurred & chimneys sweep


the trees are keys & plays unstaged

of secrets kept & wars yet waged

the hands are feet on vacant streets

the pith is chimp & shapes of apes
