introducing the bland ( dnalb eht gnicudortni )
…
blah on guitar
sapless on saxophone
banal on bass
drying paint on foghorn
yawn on organ
vanilla with the vocals
singing dead men’s sonnets
sliced white on bongos
& humdrum
( on drums )

easter egregore ( erogerge retsae )

easter egregore
autumn roars & all’s the fall
singing bill is dead
singing bill is dead
death is just another dream
deeper than a ditch
deeper than a ditch
sipping on a witches’ brew
blooming like the moon
blooming like the moon
best before the afternoon
may contain almonds
may contain almonds
thigh of newt & badger nuts
spores from outer-space
spores from outer-space
dancing as the dogwood growls
bolt the cottage door
bolt the cottage door
stay until the days say cheese
easter egregore

panic at the pumps ( spmup eht ta cinap )
…
panic at the pumps
see the monkey troops
fisticuffs at teatime
fighting for bananas
spot the scree unfold
watch the little bots
warring on the forecourts
stuck in frenzy mode
barking up the trunks
of a wrong’uns tree
are there signs of life
on this planet pantomime?
bollocks on the snooze
told them all to come
all of them at once
abra & cadabra
giz a fuckin’ break
a lobotomy
for this daily maelstrom
this laboratory
crossed with lavatory
so the piper plays
as the normalzzz groans
– aaarrrggghhh

spin between ( neewteb nips )
…
the deed is dung
underneath an oak tree
see the hanging man
as a greenfinch sang
so, sweet chestnuts
sucked within the drawing room
scribble with a grin
churning like a milky key
sugar is energy
elemental penfriends
ink a spirit tongue
like a speaking sprite
while away from here
peer beyond the duck pond
idle like the bones
of a snoring brontosaurus
blowing with the wind
from a parsnip farmer’s arse
gleaming in the stream
seeking seas of bream
i had a magic dream
& in my dream i saw you
happy on the moon
dancing with baboons

hashtag poem ( meop gathsah )

# cheese & pickles
# the clifton suspension bridge
# bring back echoes
# save the tiger bread
# i love what they’ve done with your earlobes
# it’s raining frogs again here
# why are all scarecrows men?
# politics – blah, baa, blah
# beans on toast
# barnard’s star
# the m42
# turnip lives matter
# easter on ekofisk
# i think i’ve just seen a goblin
# christmas is cancelled
# cockerels can lay eggs too
# pebbles in espadrille shoes
# selfies, selfies, selfies
# yes, there’s a chill in the air
# is anyone there… ?
