Poems

elcric lluf

on a clear day i can see

cheeky faceless he

beyond the horizon

but never the front instead





as from the tips of hilltops

yes frequently i will spot

conditions permitting

it's the back of my head

i love you saint swithun

i love you saint swithun

you're nothing like the other saints



i love you saint swithun

it's different this time



i love you saint swithun

it's not gay 'cause you've been canonized



i love you saint swithun

& i'm glad that you're mine

yadnus retsae

easter sunday is here

no tinsle

snow

or mistletoe

but sometimes these things

get up-muddled

then fuddled





easter sunday is here

it's the aftermath of christ's prank

the annual 

crucified scamp

with an empty tomb

for all there to see

& a chocolate partridge

in a pear tree

...

the truth is stranger





yes the truth

is stranger

 than fiction





as in real-life

black beauty

was a kraken





who terrorised the 7 seas

with tentacles

for centuries





 anna sewell's an equine

wind-up merchant

- that's what actually happened

everyday’s only a blank page if you dismiss the invisible ink

everyday's

only a blank page

if you dismiss

the invisible ink

the scribblings

of yesterdays

disguised

quite indistinct





the meanderings

of previously

the potterings

of yore

yes everyday's

only a blank page

if you manage to ignore

what's been written before

...

bouquet

this poem smells

of the delian league

a week last-sunday

& cauliflower cheese





this poem smells

of neptune's moons

all 14 of the beggars

& confused afternoons





this poem smells

of your uncle's first car

the shipping forecast

a candle maker's memoir





plus this poem smells

of the kitchen sink

so when every scent has blended

- THIS POEM STINKS

a world within an onion & a place within a potato


a world within an onion

but this this world is your onion

yet man alive like this leek

yeah fuckin' 'ell - it's unique

it's a magical paddle

if stuck up any shit creek.





& a place within a potato

this potato tastes of play dough

plus the turin shroud's scrotum

the arch deacon's arse crack

& then i

the young barn-hand-lad

 that takes us back

old note woman

dear mardy

old great grandmother

on the back 

of my £5 note

no one is born superior

your family are a joke

you're fuck-all ceremoniously

you've never been my queen

a dinosaur - yes nothing less

unable to smile

from centuries of incest

10.23

the novelty clock

is adamant now

that it's 10.23

& who are we to argue

?

yes who are we

to disagree

?

as time & existence

are mysteries

beyond mere monday's

wits & powers

so nice 1 - it's 10.23

for 60 seconds then again

erm

in roughly 12 hours

...

beyond jam

a weary jam maker

lay nackered in bed

& thought of all the jam

that day they'd made

then they thought of all the jam

they hoped to make in the future

closed their eyes

& dreamed of lemon curd

red currant jelly

- MARMALADE
