pear weather fiend ( a p o e m )
…
in autumn's squall as woodland frog
& mizzle cysts upon a breeze
we apple on a bramble path
& glisten as the forests frieze
in squinter's spin - the dog & i
sea squander in the blizzard's boar
as darkness barks a snarling gnarl
& tossers hive behind cloned doors
in vernal spring as birbles ping
of blossoming & wormer daze
pea potter in the pastor's grass
as otters chafe the frost away
then summer spoons in blue balloons
with leprosy & feathers preened
& homely bear & hen - it's ewe
but hare were you, pear weather fiend
