hedge head

frog socks

clip claps the trot

of a phantom fox


bus bug

tin night

dim dips the sprite

of a candlelight


shrub throb

cat fawn

dog daze the map

of a mudflap morn


tree fly

flow thumb

i spell the flood

of an english spun

...

spell, tall toads tweed to gnome

or snow the slaying sloes

yet snare's no plaice pike dome

snow i swallow my rose


& squander swan i foam

to bear? i shrew snot blow

to gnome knot i - snore dome

i glow glare cheeses glow

otter socks & cod osmosis

apples pipping doctor doses

triple steps & pepper pickles

winter's warring frozen roses


twinkle toes & frog thrpombosis

bushes burning bramble moses

scramble hedge & thistle prickles

lemons licking toad trombonists


puddle pox & elf hypnosis

garbles splashing garden hoses

marble glass & ripple spittle

bubbles blowing swollen gnosis


scatter runes & roman noses

saxons tokin' y'olden roaches

golden plum & mizzle drizzle

gloam is glaring where the ghost is

swell snake hundred

& sixty nine

dot hive two bee

slimes forty five

plus whitsun eve

lopsided by

the tonal sums

of easter's sines



bus screw thoudsand

& scrappy eights

as tawny owls

they congregate

spines socks spot three

spit six four eight

a swishing swell

& your mums face



in sparks of charts

& tardy twos

as weasels wheeze

& pop their shoes

in chimes of nine

not twenty too

the kitchen sink

or timbuktu



so nowt note nowt

clangs phantom bells

& tree french hens

shout not a yell

sequels a tail

swan cannot spell

i'm tankful hat

there is snow hell

...

 

ampersands & amber

ampersands & amber  (  a  r e w r i t e  )

…




conkers war the canker

copper ores & anchors

porpoise plod the purpose

horsing forth & canters


happy slaps the campers

apple crabs & slander

heaven eggs the nervous

thunder thumbs & clamber


lizards lane the camber

blizzard brains & answers

teeters tree the quercus

phantoms oak the scamper


razors shave the panda

fairylands & ramblers

gurning gums the girders

hairy hands & scramblers


anther pants the panthers

scatter rants & hamsters

such ado the surplus

cousin shrew & dancers


panzers tank the tanka

semaphore & samba

summer spurs the murmurs

waddle forth & gander


stagger stags the stanzas

lantern lit & antlers

candles can the squirmers

ladder steps & wranglers


scuffle knees the wankers

bubble bees & lancers

fleeing from the circus

ampersands & amber

...

hothead goldfish transmutes flute

chip shop flipflop hilltops slop

french door centaur foxgloves foal

bloodlust orchard skylines vole

tuck shop truck stop pinheads plop

ginseng gymnast milksops mole
