chicken shit poem ( meop tihs nekcihc )
…
little rubber hen
rule the roost & jump the queue
peck the scattered corn
so the order falls
crow as if a waking cock
rising of a morn
like a feathered nob
choking as the bishops bash
catching not the pox
baring braver teeth
dare to be a rarer bird
fending off a fox
see who gives a cluck
by the side of speeding lanes
playing games with trucks
giz an egg – or two
strut the headless dance of death
– if you have the guts

another april fool poem ( meop loof lirpa rehtona )
…
sound a hornet’s nest
strolling england’s pheasant gland
spring is on a quest
rolling up the hills
dice defying gravity
jumping jacks & jills
as the spanners fly
we, the flowered flap with cats
hyacinth & i
lamb a lion’s mouth
leap the frogs in spawning bogs
plod the north ‘n’ south
odder than y’socks
see the dogs in dancing clogs
piffle’s picking locks
puddle up the creak
cabbage in the muddle’s mash
as the bubble’s squeak
ants in pantaloons
prance upon the spillage green
& the blossom croons
sing ’til kumquat may
gibbon ribbons ’round a pole
ape the grey away

flaming snake from space
slither hither, ever closer
brother of the falcon sun
bedlam blazing through
hissing little sibling
serpent with a head of stone
war with soaring dawn
beast beyond this spinning earth
come on then, you pussy

cloak & stagger ( reggats & kaolc )
…
after afternoon
a candle in a lantern
waxing gibbous moon
puddles on the path
universes bursting like
bubbles in the bath
little drips of dream
gibbon in a cable car
kettles singing steam
i’m a shade of grey
or the morning starling’s light
let the horses neigh
drifting like a plank
rhyming like a dictionary
scribbles in the tank
’til the cockerel crows
floating while the ‘rona drones
highs below the lows

don’t forget a key
a spanner & a handkerchief

otters live in holts
but check your soggy pockets

breezes blow begonias

april rains forever

road ahead closed
cheese & pickle sandwiches

rameses the second
spotted on the compost heap

reinforced concrete
extra pairs of underwear

this is not a circular
hence the jagged edges

the turd wave ( evaw drut eht )
…
waking as the pastures baa
nature is a morning star
walk before the sun is up
rising like a buttercup
with a camera & a pen
breathe beyond the lies of men
butterflies & bumblebees
blossom petals on the breeze
listen to the bells of blue
knelling not of mutant pooh
hit the hills & dance with ants
as the normalz shat their pants
hare the air & scribble on
plod a song – on airstrip one
wander from this sinking shit
– doris johnson is a tit

oh, those noble gasses ( sessag elbon esoht ,ho )
…
old king krypton
from another planet
helium caesar
floats as rome burns
xenon the warrior
prince among lasers
archduke argon
plums in his throat
oganesson the inbred
wedding many cousins
& princess neon too
the lady in the lamplight
long may they radon

frog of a flower ( rewolf a fo gorf )
…
ponds in the heavens
puddle above us
songs in a cycle
highs of a lotus
mizzle is a twisting
wandering yonder
seeing is breathing
misting the focus
naps of a catkin
rhyming & chiming
iris’s cousins
dog with a bonus
hush in the clatter
catching a feather
here in the blearing
fluttering locus
mapping this magic
pencils & paper
piddle a riddle
hocus the pocus
frog of a flower
raining in colour
down in the dingle
showers of crocus
