a park in the walk

~

a park in the walk ( a poemtrys for thee ( z ) )



then write with your hands

let ink meet paper

breathe on your bowls green

be the creator


blow soapy bubbles

scratch irksome mishaps

dangle those fangles

wiggle those knick-knacks


in roundabout ways

teeter on seesaws

polish them word-turds

endorse all detours


a park in the walk

brass your own bandstand

think of the swinged things

then write with your hands

...

























chuckle my shoe

~

chuckle my shoe ( a little tribute )



one, two

chuckle my shoe


three, four

whatever for?


five, six

shoe hysterics


seven, eight

my blank straight face


nine, ten

shoe - share the joke then

( ? )

...









( author notes )


buckle my shoe


one, two

buckle my shoe


three, four

shut the door


five, six

pick up sticks


seven, eight

lay them straight


nine, ten

a big, fat hen

...

weasels keep on popping

~

weasels keep on popping


yes weasels keep on popping

exploding out-the-blue

yet no one really knows why

for some reason they do


we've tried blaming the weather

each other & ourselves

acts of god or 'terrorists'

but that shit never helps


the science folk are puzzled

they'd answer if they could

the governments says keep calm

but stay away from woods


one blast could rip an ear-off

or kill you if you're old

thems old trad rhymes - they know why

pop goes the weasel

( that's us told )

money thoughts

~

money thoughts ( a brief poetical discharge )



if i think of money

then i think of greed

divisions - divide & rule

struggles - suppressed mouths to feed


spineless wanker bankers

bullshit, death & woe

offer us a fiver though

chances are i won't say no

...
















still egg

~

still egg ( a brief ponder-thing )




this poem is still egg

until out pecks a head

i shall incubate it so

gently sit on this egg


upon a thorny branch

in my metaphored nest

in the bewildered forest

guests - please excuse the mess

...






















you’re history

~

you’re history ( a brief poetical non-paradigm ( essay fragment ) )



your viking moods

your saxon cross

your maypoled frame

& obby oss


your gramophone

y'old pants in ants

glass-mad like charles

the sixth of france


your roman nose

with ears to match

the nose you pict

your adolf tache


your warts & all

they tortured me

sweet dungeoned dear

you're history

no one in particular

~

no one in particular ( 9 lines o’ rhyme )



it's easy as we are no one

we're no one in particular

no fiddler or cricketer

or sacred cow of literature


the streets are free to wander down

no fans asking for signatures

as fame is not our prisoner

we're no one

in particular
