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 ( 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 ( 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

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 ...
