oh, scarecrows ( 12 lines of amateur scrawl )
…
summer's snowmen, winter's patches either mixes - neither matches secret blinkers, sea-deep thinkers staring scary - hairy thatches pumkin bumpkins, rustic people sometimes charming - mainly evil herring red ploys, cheeky decoys 'neath a broad sky - life is peaceful timeless styling, sleepy shirkers muddy buggers, crop preservers silent sentries, time aplenty bird disturbers - stop the murder ...

in absentia ( another vaguely poetical stab in the daft )
…
the feral vet, his intense sweats
that manic get
the haunted cow
the magic nurse, her tragic verse
& piggish purse
the singing sow
the dog in clogs - that trot - clip clop
& catty strops
the talking plough
those cheeky apes, our many scrapes
since former japes
where are they now
?
( fuck knows )

squidgy in the middle ( a poem for today )
…
squidgy sings the bleary lark
stretchy is this day
timid as dormice is dark
swarms of horsefly neigh
poppy crows the how do cock
mallow caws that crow
as the old & gold sun throbs
so them hay fields glow
yonder swoop the ninja swift
as that bracken booms
as the bloody cuckoo spits
bees hum bumbled tunes
speckled is the tickled brain
thistled now are thorns
blonde may riddled summer reign
from this solstice morn
