not pentecost

Whilst faintly listening to the wind blow

& whisper

beyond the window

I heard a nasty rumour

in regards to a celebrity baker.





Embroiling a famous ice skater

& Van de Graaf generator,

an ostrich feather, a jar of Nutella

a fortune teller

plus several men of the cloth

- & yet it was not Pentecost.

.





Disgusting

...



the brown stuff

Every poem is a turd

& we defecate these words,

as certain as that murder

deserves our condemnation

so obviously writer's block

is a form of constipation.





Yes every poem is a pooh - it's true

be it haiku, sonnet or epic,

they make us cry, laugh, love & think

but please bear in mind

that every shit stinks

...








a bespoke poem


When the woman

or man

who 1st bespoked-up the word

bespoke,

originally

bespoke-assembled the letters

it was far from absurd or a joke.





Yet over several

bespoke years

all sense & meaning

disappeared,

due to bespoke

overuse

& blatant bespoke bespoke abuse
