( chopping blocks & shopping trolleys )  (  a  r e w r i t e  . . .  g a s p  )



sing a song of stinging nettles

chopping blocks & shopping trolleys

fizzle as the mizzle kettle

dots the t's of steaming coffee


dawn's the yawn of pins of speckles

fencing post & pencil folly

blossom possums - sinking petals

sensing ghosts & border collies


spin in rings as hectors heckle

chapel bells & apple toffee

missing cats as fiddles fettle

crackle splats a spittle volley


scrawl a crawl of claws 'n' mettle

evergreen & ever-holly

kitchens sink as sinking freckles

broccoli - & bring a brollie

another may poem  (  c l u b f e e t  k n o t  s e a l s  )


spinsters sing of wings & pins

weasels weave the winter's hay

rumplestiltskin tilts on stilts

as the attic mantis pray


john the baptist basks in blue

chaffinch chafe the mutant grey

spiders munch a tuffet-lunch

eating curds of words & whey


shuck is barking in the park

butter cups the pigeon's clay

lugh is flutters of a lark

as the badgers cabaret


bells gazelle as bellends knell

squirrels squiggle in the drey

pebbles plop as stoned's the crow

otters jot & dot the jay


maidens in the dingle ring

ravens raving on the brae

leopards sail the rameses

shepherds shear as yearlings neigh


scribble shats a bastard splat

roses glow as hoses spray

moses mows & noah floats

on another day in may

...









































































































cataracts & anoraks

cataracts & anoraks  (  a  p o e t r y  )



infrared & easter eggs

internets & stools

lemon tea's the steam ahead

spittle spins the spools


scribble squids & river rips

kitchens sing & sink

tingles ping the fingertips

blither spins the brink


podded peas & prosody

reader ruff & gruff

otters rig the lottery

weasels run the rough


cataracts & anoraks

tapestries & crows

badgers swing the battleaxe

babble as she blows

...
























































































 

the loch ness monster

~

the loch ness monster  (  a  p o e t r y  )




weaves in the aether

hits like a hittite

thistles for breakfast

pens of the glens


whistles in woodland

coughs like a comet

hovercraft ankles

naps as a gnat


fluent in flemish

uzbek & zulu

drinks with the fishes

sings-in the spring


schemes with the weasles

laughs like a pylon

flies on a big broom

kisses the moon

...

pencils pentecost  (  w r i t t e n  j u s t  l a s t  w h i t s u n  w i t h  a  p e n c i l  )



cataracts & anoraks

sneezing in the pollen air

weasels on a rocking chair

crackle static loft


binary & spidery

mizzle of the mistletoe

pigging in the middletoe

butter-fingers crossed


flipping brains & shipping lanes

robins of the goblin's hood

knelling in the belling wood

dongs of dental floss


cigarettes & inner-sweats

maidens of the raven's caw

clawing on a phantom door

clatter pasture's croft


sandwiches & languages

summer on a salad tongue

badger-nap & ballad-spun

speckle elfin socks


pantaloons & afternoons

poetry is pickled eggs

roses, legs & scrambled heads

pencils pentecost

...




















































































 

why sport?

why sport?  (  p o k i n g  t h e  p o i n t l e s s  v o i d  )




liverchester drovers

five in a nightie


mancastle eff sea

herpes & fleas


chelspurs ewe-knighted

sixty six on buttered toast


squire-shire seesaw

five million for six


sweating in a pringle sweater

seven under chaffinch


swinging in the thicket's spew

two over clover


yelping on a court of snorts

goose - deuce - goosegrass


mister nickname - what's'isname?

the frame

& the match
