duck up a pea

duck up a pea  (  a  p o e m  )



this pantaloon i slimed a pea

its branches snare snow eye could flea

the pew up pear - those distant nouns

hoe, hutch a flight for isles abound


this pantaloon i slimed a pea

to kiss the tinned & scree the sea

& sleeve the girth - its glass & gowned

& wheel the wheeze - its dental sound


this pantaloon i slimed a pea

my inner-shat & feline bee

but cow i'm duck & reel a crown

as sprite looms spoon - keys, kelp me down

fuddle-plods  (  a  p o e m  t h a t  r h y m e s  (  g a s p  )  )




seek the hide & peek the up

down the dale & ale the cup

walk the spank & tank the sup

squawk the talk & pluck the truck


land the sieve & sew the plough

bleat the sheep & squeak the sow

hill the climb & lick the brow

weave the tree & breeze the bow


mound the bouts & broth the cooks

mud the stuck & worm the books

squirm the birds & dodge the hooks

crow the stones & still the shook


bend the round & gap the mind

sound the pound & cow the hind

moo the spew & string the twined

kill the king & lead the blind

gossip bollocks  (  a  p o e m  )



bull chimes the butcher & spew slimes the fat

chew chugs the duchess & splat frogs the rat

brew sings the spinster & blow dons the hat

row oars the dustman & ship shores the shat


burr spurs the barber & bark slurs the inn

whirr purrs the poacher & squirm stirs the skin

groat goats the grocer & stroke chips the chin

speak bleats the farmer & brim rims the bin


toss roars the doctor & twist snores the tail

dross spores the chorus & mist draws the vale

dusk dicks the baker & shit spits the ale

floss rolls the baron & rust stubs the nail


tea spoons the vicar & flight moons the sprawls

dim muds the tutor & shite runes the walls

bash spins the bishop & heave hues the scrawls

lip licks the lemon & swipe pips the balls

four swans

four swans  (  a  p o e m  )




once a swan a blizzard sheet

gibbons sing in lizard speak

lepers leap the lemonade

masquerades & parakeets


twice a swan a trickled nib

tickles stick in rippled ribs

coddles egg the escapade

colonnades & fizzle squibs


thrice a swan a gargled flow

bumblebees in bungalows

marble muds the marmalade

puddle lakes & bubbles blow


fourth a swan a curdled rhyme

burbles herb in breakfast thyme

leopards spot the serenade

pepper shakes & pantomime

catkin nap

catkin nap  (  l i n e s  f o r  t h e  p i c t u r e  )





crystal lips & squinter daze

weevils weave the drunken sun

rivers twist & weasels maze

winter whips the sprinkle bun


finger tips & potter trots

feathers fleck the otter sky

flicker scripts & polka dots

lemons lick the lullaby


puddles splosh & bristles stream

rubble robes the roman road

summer's swans & colour schemes

murmur stirs the woken toad


portal spawns & phantom scrawls

woodland thaws the warble flap

mistle sings & rubber balls

twinkle tows the catkin nap

re this poem  (  a  p o e m  )




she sieves the wood & sniffs the moss

that snores the floor & drinks the troughs

or sips the dew that frills the fosse

in depths of feb & spews the toss


she crows the stones & walls the wails

that whale the bones & sprawl the dales

or span the land that folks the tails

in ghosts of towns & browns the ale


she voles the vales & scales the hills

that mole the moors & ring the chills

or knells the bells that spell the still

in wisps of sing & spills the quills


she fasts the vast & stings the bee

that wars the wasp & spins the scree

or storms the cup that teas the sea

in dreams of dust & rusts the key


she greens the swards & leafs the hedge

that rows the grow & fogs the sedge

or bogs the sod that sucks the legs

in quacks of ducks & fucks the head


she spits the shit & spurs the penned

that flaps the shat & stirs the blend

or blends the stirs that turns the bend

in drips of ink & then the end
