a poem for today  (  a f e w  r o p y  b u t  v e r y  r e c e n t  r h y m e s  )

…



swans-a-song a scatter graph

set aside & black holes

otters trot the pasture grass

lententide & tadpoles


hens-a-peck a pheasant head

pencil legs & hedgerows

lemon eggs the feathered stead

swishing swells & echoes


crows-a-toe a castaway

kitchen sinks & curlews

coma tows the saturn daze

hissing links & swirls too


swifts-a-brush a swifter sweep

rivers sing & kettles

reeds of rush held in the beak

quiver spring & nestle

...

nine lithes  (  a  p o e m z  )

…





header, zephyr, feather breeze & bee

cheddar, heather - weather stir the tree

mumble, rundle, egg a step & see


pliant giants, lycra song & sing

silent riots - signets swan the ring

rubber, blubber - tiger spun & spring


supple, sugar, shuffle, salt & sprats

muffle, woofer - somersault the flaps

thrashing, gasping, ampersands & cats

...

’tis curly spring

’tis curly spring  (  a  p o e t r y  )

…




'tis curly spring - the crocus crows

& quivers speak the sea

it's pearly birds - too spoon the rose

as scissors squeak the bee


'tis songy sing - a walrus dawns

& warbles in the whist

it's donkey wings on peasant morns

as morsels door & twist


'tis eggy legs - the chaffinch church

& swan the blossom buds

it's messy heads - the serpent purrs

as otters spur the mud


'tis pearly maze - the raisin fries

& thunder wheels the scars

it's swirly days - drey eye to i

& slummer steams so star

...
