broken october

broken october  (  a n o t h e r  o c t o b e r  p o e m  )

…




a scatter of branches in phantoms of prances

& ganders with antlers in staggers of dances

a mist in the mizzle, a fist in the riddle

a maze in the haze of the fade-fiddle-diddle

or bitch in a battle, a witch in a cackle

as swan is the addle with bats on the saddle

at then in the morning as woodland is spawning

an octopus crawling with tentacles trawling

& down spins the plover as brown is the clover

it's piss it & biscuits - it's broken october

...

 

spin in the midlands

~

spin in the midlands  (  f u c k  b u l l s h i t i n g  b u s y b o d i e s  &  c a r r y  o n  )

…





north is a war

spartans in tartan

fighting with vikings

blood on the ice


snows in the crow

east is a dragon

lizards & whispers

fire & rice


noodles to boot

west is a wizard

ringing the weather

pissing the wet


southern is sun

fleas & diseases

people are cheeses

swimming in sweat


gleam in the green

hog in a hedgerow

echo & echo

stars on a chart


stars on a chart

spin in the midlands

goldilock's garden

- derbyshire's heart

...

 

in no particular order

~

in no particular order  ( you’ve left the iron on – hurry while there’s still time … )

…





apple crumbles, acid splashes

mumps 'n' mumbles, rabid rabbits

bugs in blankets, eyes in glasses

cats in caskets, sprys & pies


wicker knickers, wiccan weddinmgs

twisted vicars, reddened herrings

flemish phlegm & lemon lemmings

fishermen in kipper ties


stinging nettles, kettle drummers

letter peckers, number punchers

pencils, penguins, prussian junkers

pandas, punks & pigs in stys


baronesses, roman noses

badger beggars, adder doges

peers & earwigs - tits with noses

wanker bankers - dragonflies


weasel weavers, scheming witches

rotten addles, curtain twitches

fucker-muckers, rats & bitches

tosser fodder - you & i


toppled skittles, river ripples

circle burbles, plinking pickles

thunder, tumbles, tongues & tickles

rumbles under onion skies

...

 

spittle ink in woodland

~

spittle ink in woodland  ( written in a wood because desks are zoos for people )

…




spittle ink in woodland

underneath the trees

as the leaves are dripping

bumble with the bees


squiggle then in nettles

flap with phantom hands

pandas dance the cancan

rubber dub & bands


wriggle worms that eat birds

peaches that are stoned

grapes that cape the headland

goat as sheep are cloned


squabble-squab the bog rot

moss upon the logs

jostle in the hare's lair

boxing with the frogs

...

scribble’s a pen

~

scribble’s a pen  (  a  p o e m e t r y s  )

…




scribble's a pen

friend of the scrawlings

squall in the mornings

trots in a fen


trots in a fen

crow with the motions

plover the oceans

feathers & men


feathers & men

birds are the badgers

jiggles & nadgers

pecks of a hen


pecks of a hen

rice in y' noodles

flights of the doodles

scruple & then


scruple & then

squander the warbles

wander through portals

sever the sen


sever the sen

elf in a forest

forage for porridge

otter again


otter again

hog in a hedgerow

is there an echo?

flap as a wren


flap as a wren

smoke with the kippers

row with the rivers

scribble's a pen

...

 

star czar cracked wheat

~

star czar cracked wheat  (  my other poem is a hologram of a poltergeist  )

…



boxcar wash swash

sausage odyssey

sea snake cheesecake

otter ptolemy


crowbar flyby

badger alibi

catnap bat flap

sparkle marble eye


jam jar jazz hand

adder matinee

clip clop chip shop

gamma spanner ray


feldspar foxtrot

helicopter nose

bedspread lead head

hedges hog the rows


sandbar sandwich

salmon avenue

scribbly pygmy

shimmer pixie shrew


star czar cracked wheat

kipper kilowatt

backdoor jackdaw

speak & dot the dot

in the prussian embassy

~

in the prussian embassy  (  b a s e d  o n  a  t r u e  d a y d r e a m  )

…





fred is spinning on the decks

fritz's hits as marbles march

in this sort of tardis lark

yonder hops a hare


ninjas, drinks & nibbles stuff

twiglets, frisps & monster munch

junkers drunk & thunder-skunk

lizards lick a pear


bumbles in the jungle's jig

robins robbing robin hood

noah's ghost & sun tzu too

thunder frilled the air


dances on the desert sands

roses in the blizzard's snow

gleamings in the forest's green

squirrels shit a bear


flies from east silesia

anne of cleeves & damocles

elephants - electric eels

shocking old voltaire


in the prussian embassy

hobnobbing ambassadors

peasants, punks & hobgoblins

- everyone was there
