listesque etc. ( a re-winging of an older post )

…





mutant bastard handshakes

every morn like bran flakes

fruit medjool me mandates

tooth your pick


storming nomad notepads

tossing forth the throwbacks

quartz, blue john & topaz

mined that shit


choppy hoppy scented

heaven sense fermented

pale ale wails infested

down it quick


singing kitchens sinking

flapping caps are thinking

keen green eyes are squinting

tick - tick - tick

soggy fare

soggy fare ( a poem in places & words throughout )

…





the river blooms & mushrooms on

the clouds are shrouds where sun has shone

the branches nod & sprinkle drops

the earth is damp where crops have flopped


the valleys splash & tractors swan

the ducks are grins - the worst has gone

the birds they stir & frogmen hop

the ditches brim - the rain has stopped


the drizzle dawns & piddles on

the here is drips & bits of songs

a midland squelch of soggy socks

in need of keys for rusting locks

bramble bursts & parasols

bramble bursts & parasols ( a poem )

…



there's gathered nuts & misty yawns

there's staggered ruts & wispy fawns

the foxes grin

as branches thin

i'm scrambling where fungi spawn


there's bramble bursts & parasols

there's gurning ferns & rabbit holes

the nettles sting

as wood nymphs sing

i'm babbling where badgers stroll


there's soggy moss & liverwort

there's cobweb spin & insects caught

the ivy clings

as squirrels swing

i'm rambling where faeries walk


there's weasel schemes & bumble bees

there's toady stools & humble me

the bluebells ring

through mid-late spring

i'm ambling beneath the trees

jam season

jam season ( a poem for another muddled monday etc. )

…


blast the bastard brass bandstand & soap bubbble those pops

clap the drastic crass handstand & coach bustle those stops

bite your phantom foe toenails

& knight your holy grail

blast the bastard brass bandstand & soap bubbble those pops


crack the wicked slick whiplash & wire cable those cars

smack the liquid bitch slapdash & fire fable those stars

croak your duffel cloak coattails

& roam your toady dales

crack the wicked slick whiplash & wire cable those cars


bat the freakish front backhand & sod-muddle those socks

smash the sheepish stunt crash land & flux-fuddle those flocks

spew your fishy gross net sales

& clue your vacuumed veils

bat the freakish front backhand & sod-muddle those socks


jam the berried fruit mishmash & hot ladle those jars

smack the smelly boot backlash & cat cradle those scars

duck your frozen pea dovetails

& pluck your ropy scales

jam the berried fruit mishmash & hot ladle those jars

applegeddon ( a poem about apples, can you read … ? )

…




the orchards nod in sort of bobs as absent doctors crumble pie

the rain aloft is pips & sobs as maggots scrump the cider eyes

the carts they dart with sunken hearts

& toffee tears for what draws near

we'll beat the wasp at any cost for harvest tide & cyanide

...

doomsday frocks

doomsday frocks ( a true sprawl )

…




the mutant shrew has spewed the floss

as fuzzy frogs they feud the dross

so cabbage brains

they lavish drains

in doomsday frocks then newt the moss


the student gnu has stewed the cross

as dummy dogs they smooth the pox

so jangled cranes

they scan the lanes

for salty clocks to boot the toss


the foolish shoe has glued the gloss

as honey hogs they boo the fox

so sandy grains

they pansy stains

& poppy cocks the nuisance socks
