sycamore ( a p o e m )
…
in black chapels of crab apples as jack-badgers jig in jaggles & chip chaffinch chatter jackals as a maiden tames a shrew in fir forests of frost otters as frog-florists cough in coffers & green beavers sneeze on loggers as the vicars sniff on glue in red temples of lead pencils as black adders fast for lentils & grey ravens bass the trebles as the saxons tax a pew or squawk orchards of auk orphans as incisors grind on organs & jawed georgians war with gorgons i shall sycamore - for yew ...

interstellar hedgehogs ( p l o v e r t h a t r a i n b o w )

interstellar hedgehogs chasing rays of star stuff ostriches in sandpits gargle as the lark lazaruses dead frogs jiggles with the dawn's balls seven speckled blackbirds burble in the park bursts of belgian folk odes bits of smurf & tintin as the polecats pole dance & the maidens bark shapes of wraith & covens blips & baker's dozens interstellar hedgehogs sing a song - & hark ...

big farmer runs the world ( a t r u e t a l e )
…
he creamed it through the atlas
he cheetahed sphere & far
a grin upon his noggin
a whoosh of ooh & arr
he hawked the haunts of northern
& hared the lairs of south
without a stitch of stalling
a straw straw in his mouth
he swished a swish in cities
as traffic crept a crawl
a giant stench of silage
at least sixteen feet tall
he stumbled not in jungles
as serpents stir & hiss
& broke no sweat in deserts
'twas all a piece of piss
he chased the sprite horizons
from eastern light to west
a flash of cap & scamper
a tweed suit, boots & vest
he legged it over hillocks
he raced the rivers' swish
( but swan the bits with oceans
amongst the wrecks & fish )
from john 0'goats to belgium
from tim buck - too - to crewe
'fore home to wed his cousin
she's only two foot two
for miles giles pegged the planet
as earthish firma twirled
& swirled as stars were singing
- big farmer runs the world -

cloudy lemonade ( a p o e t i c )
…
ginger nuts & dust
sputter reams of custard creams
mrs green is drunk
pincers pinch a pew
caterpillars in a queue
uncle sun has sunk
cloudy lemonade
trousers of the turin shroud
creepers on a trunk
statuettes or bust
sunday is a lizard queen
monday is a monk
