turnip wars & turpentine

turnip wars & turpentine ( a true story in scraps )





turnip wars & turpentine

smashing boars & borderlines

scabby knees & monkey cheese

crumbled walls where ivy climbs


lizard tongues & alkaline

acid licks & lichtenstein

a.b.c's & antifreeze

echo through the chorus line


chickenpox & melon vines

paradigms & minus signs

rotting peas & tossing seas

winter hides in summertime


belfry bats & calamine

plastic pants & pantomimes

ropy trees & smoky keys

broken bits of biscuit rhymes

...





































































fragments of tangents

~

fragments of tangents ( a poem for a shit shaturday )





titters of slippage & slippery traps

ripples of rivets & gristly grass

crackles of castles & splintery trees

ambles in brambles they tangle my knees


whistles of whispers & fishery flaps

tinkles of sprinkles & fidgety bats

pistols of pickles & prickly seas

thistles & crystals they christen the breeze


blisters of missives & mystery naps

nipples of quibbles & canopy thatch

wobbles of nobbles & novelty skis

mumbles in jungles they jumble my sneeze


dribbles of riddles & drizzly rats

trickles of fickle & fiddly facts

dwindles of spindles & shimmery keys

fragments of tangents they glisten to me

...

















knots in the vest strings

~

knots in the vest strings ( a poem for a fuddled friday )




snot in the coffee & tea in the tree

feet on the oche & sneeze on the breeze

toes on the elbows

& crows in the know

cheese in the ballads & hoes in the heave


knots in the vest strings & wasps in the loft

whats in the questing & dross in the gloss

mopes in the earlobes

& glow in the flow

pants in the pantry & jack in the frost


squats in the quandary & hot in the freeze

blots on the fondly & bees in the wheeze

though in the stone's throw

& foes in the fro

knees in the nobbles & quiche in the keys


plots in the vestry & spots in the dots

rot in the zesty & shocks in the watts

shows in the panto

& boats in the row

seas in the salad & tongues in the toss

egging egghead escapades

~

egghead escapades ( some piffle for your whistle )



wispy whiplash orangeade

shetland pony hand grenade

trashy crash land cavalcade

moorland mermaid marmalade


flipping mudflap shoulder blade

ratatouille ricocheted

pensive centaur centigrade

pastie pastiche palisade


slapdash sabbath lemonade

labyrinthine hearing aid

otter toss pots renegades

anger ankle accolades


sapping smudge splat barricade

sempiternal masquerade

quenching manhole marinade

egging egghead escapades

...
