applegeddon ( a poem about apples, can you read … ? )




the orchards nod in sort of bobs as absent doctors crumble pie

the rain aloft is pips & sobs as maggots scrump the cider eyes

the carts they dart with sunken hearts

& toffee tears for what draws near

we'll beat the wasp at any cost for harvest tide & cyanide

...





































doomsday frocks

doomsday frocks ( a true sprawl )




the mutant shrew has spewed the floss

as fuzzy frogs they feud the dross

so cabbage brains

they lavish drains

in doomsday frocks then newt the moss


the student gnu has stewed the cross

as dummy dogs they smooth the pox

so jangled cranes

they scan the lanes

for salty clocks to boot the toss


the foolish shoe has glued the gloss

as honey hogs they boo the fox

so sandy grains

they pansy stains

& poppy cocks the nuisance socks

...

































annual checkup

~

annual checkup ( because i once saw a jigsaw jig & other reasons too )



the ears are piers - the eyes are shores

the mind is threads & minotaurs

the elbows glow if sneezes glow

when daydreams scream - the anus snores


the hands are bands - the toes are bells

the feet are beats & yoking spells

the furrowed brow is highland cow

when breezes growl - the armpits yell


the knees are cheese - the chin is warm

the spine is swine & unicorns

the noses grow - all six, you know

when autumn falls & fungi spore


the soul is vole - the brain is cells

the neck is heck yet ankles smell

of roman roads & barley mows

the heart is still a wishing well

odd bless this grim

odd bless this grim ( a trueish story )




the dales are veils - the hills are still

the sun has paled beneath this grey

that here wassails & wails its will

from vaults above upon this fray


the rain is hail - the sleet is sheet

the clouds are shrouds of drunken dim

the gale exhales & quakes the wheat

no bird is heard within this brim


the quail has bailed - my quill has chilled

its ink has failed as curates pray

for gold & ale & sleep & pills

as trees sweat on & mad dogs stray


the nails are snails - the streams are streets

the cats are hounds - the wind has limbs

these days i crave - their taste is sweet

my frown they drown - god bless this grim

magnetic gossip

~

magnetic gossip ( the story of my life but made up & a poem instead )




the honeydew egg guilds the fright

as pigeon children clubfoot night

the clever elbow welds the sleight

& hapless harp strings harness turd


the headhunted hen hoops the blight

as bastard blankets blowtorch rite

the quantum beanpole quests the quite

& freckled is the speckled word


the hiatus goose combs the sprite

as blockhead blackbirds fudge the spite

the startled starfish veils the mite

& teaspoons stir the hurdled blur


the hologram gnome roams the light

as pothole pea pods blast the flight

the gurgles bite the trifled trite

& lemons curd - or so i've heard

...
