of loosened screws

of loosened screws  (  swercs denesool fo  )

…





spin the mist of winter's snooze

bobbing with the robin red

seek the green of mutant blues


underling the ups of trees

float with stoats in chemist coats

warble forth upon the leas


slide the ice of avenues

almanac in anoraks

scaling dales & tasting views


hark, the ninja turtle doves

suck the dusk of butterscotch

tartan scarf & hands in gloves


fingers slip & breezes bruise

bubble in the rubble's broth

frozen peas & snookered cues


catch a drift & so the snow

drops a crystal christening

badger on & swan we glow


song's the sing of loosened screws

salad of the sputterings

ants in pants & shrews in shoes


spin's the span of saturn's rings

dance the dive of man alive

( gone until the blossom springs )

fourth & back

fourth & back  (  kcab & htruof  )

…





dogwood

double duck

diplodocus dawn


frogs doze

winter springs

'til the crocus yawn


so crow

undertow

pickle pencil case


pin prick

overflow

snail the dales & chase


sunk sun

feathered friend

scatter avenue


pen then

pebble dash

scratch the black of blue


one, two

thunder crack

under crawling rain


three flee

fourth & back

fifth & sixth again

robins shat on bobble hats

~

robins shat on bobble hats  (  stah elbbob no tahs snibor  )

…







bats & twats in santa hats

as hark, a choir sings

songs of y'olden partridges

the gold of saturn's rings


spins again & face the beige

with cheeks a shade of rash

candlelight is catching moths

& shops are eating cash


bumble bee the beaver hats

& pale's the winter hare

morris men are knelling bells

the end is in the air


whale the spinning milking maids

a carol catches on

as a spot of chickenpox

& yonder hymns a swan


scattered frost but faux's the snow

as white as cotton socks

wank is all the wireless snores

& shite is on the box


tinsel tossers on the piss

as doves above relieve

robins shat on bobble hats

- it must be christmas eve

porridge poem

~

porridge poem  (  meop egdirrop  )

…





grain of the quakers, the crofters & me


tossers ( of cabers ) - the caledonii


winter is whipping a storm on the sea


sweeten with sugar, a splodge of honey


milk of the almond, the thistle or goat


warming december - the meal of the oat


bowls for the golden, a grizzly or three


breakfast for supper & porridge for tea


...

 

fungal jungle

~

fungal jungle  (  elgnuj lagnuf  )

…







swans upon a fungal jungle

leopard of fluorescent kitchens

finches sing of inner-siskins

flapping with the phantom uncle


flapping with the phantom uncle

nauseous as an orchid walrus

dawn is buttercup a chorus

umber under apple crumble


umber under apple crumble

bunions in the buttoned pickles

dippers, sandwiches & ripples

blizzards glimmer, rivers rumble


blizzards glimmer, rivers rumble

green is sneezing with the breezes

rabid rabbit holes & cheeses

stepping ladders, staggers stumble


stepping ladders, staggers stumble

antlers of the golden y'olden

bubbles caw a caustic cauldron

analogue of trolls in tunnels


analogue of trolls in tunnels

soaring witches six a broomstick

melting with the elfin music

focus in a crocus funnel


focus in a crocus funnel

hocus of the oceans glowing

porpoises are corvids crowing

sugar beets & turnips tumble


sugar beets & turnips tumble

turpentine the birches turtle

wheaten wizard - white & purple

swans upon a fungal jungle

...

 

the last buttercup

~

the last buttercup  (  pucrettub tsal eht  )

…






the last buttercup

slipped through the fingers


of autumn in spore

& into the winter


a swish in a swell

a ghost of the yellow


alone in the snow

the fruits of an echo


a shard of a star

so here - on the clearing


a gathering mass

of school trips & pilgrims


the last buttercup

slipped through the fingers


& lived for six hundred

trillion years

… yas ot tsuj  (  just to say …  )

…







feather vest vista

fading grey gander

roses & noses

pick a pig snout


scatter graph gasket

rubber duck rustic

pucker up, sunken

salmon pink trout


river splash bankers

pissing slash wankers

over doze clover

sound & about


circles of purple

soldier on, signets

all is a walrus

- fuckin' cold out
