bat pasture flaps  (  a n o t h e r  p o e m  )

…



bat pasture flaps & chapel grass

as tangle spangles coat


lap ladder rats & axle axe

as mangle brambles stoat


in timpani - its spindle key

if mistily blinks bee


clap tractor cats & apple scraps

as dangle scrambles stoat

months of sundries

months of sundries  (  a  p o e m  )

…




months of sundries, mumps & measles

stumps of gum tree, nuts & needles

ninjas in the

ginger limber

monks of monkeys, spins & steeples


flecks of echoes, legs & embers

becks of meadows, fens & feathers

thunder in the

thimble finger

heads of hedgerows, sedge & heather


crumbs of jumble, dance & dangles

thumbs of rumble, ants & wrangles

prussians in the

russian squinter

tongues of turnips, bats & brambles


flaps of attic, doors & portals

cracks of static, claws & causal

glimmer in the

singer's cinder

scraps of traffic, wars & warbles

...

polka dot polecats

transcript telegraph

footprint labyrinth

sinkhole saddle wax


lemon grass gas mask

coal pit battleaxe

pine cone cuneiform

sanskrit natterkacks


marmalade mudflaps

green sea bottle grass

snarl gnarl parasol

bark bat badger flaps


saucisson sod socks

slime thyme parallax

songy socks

songy socks  (  a p o e t r y  )

…



songy socks as songbirds

soggy as the toad

dale & ale the wassail

lamb & sprang the ode


trad-anon as cobwebs

scramble as the eggs

hood & wood the yonder

hop a frog & legs


passages as pastures

warble as the wall

stone & dry the lichen

rubber duck & ball


vegetable as mangles

dangle as the bat

butterfly the bull's eye

chemicals & cat


chorus caw as supper

wobble as the sky

hobble hop the hare snare

bevel square & pie


nettle spell as bell knells

tingle as the toe

mud & bud the bubbles

fuddle, froth & flow

...

 

squinter in three

~

squinter in three  (  a  p o e t r y  )

…




black box, clog pops, nightingales & flight

dead frogs, hedgehogs - candles moth the light

spatchcock, leaf thief - squinter strikes & bites


midriff, seesaw, crystal key & turn

frost socks, tree snore - whistles stir the urn

citric, tea cup - squinter bucks & churns


primrose, inflows, rubber ducks & leap

spam mail, wagtails - bristles brush the sweep

windows, wind blows - squinter seeps & weeps

...

 

tin kazoos & kangaroos

tin kazoos & kangaroos  (  a  p o e m  )

…




tin kazoos & kangaroos

antelopes & ants

spare keys - faeries

daffodils & dance


lion roars & iron ores

polar bears & poles

maydays - grey haze

solar flares & foals


rattlesnakes & applecakes

fingertips & toes

black ties - glass eyes

bungalows & crows


neighbourhoods & hazelwoods

nasal spray & swan

hilltops - milksops

hop a song & on

...

hood this bee spring?

hood this bee spring?  (  a  p o e m  )

…




the crocus eye crows

the snowdrop spoons

i psalter a swan

the altar noons


a hillock chill chips

& swill's this song

a burble of birds

as curdles on


the sun a dove dips

& flecks its horns

a snap or a snip?

as nettles swarm


oh, hood this bee spring?

it's reever roar

the gnat in the bean

the door of jaw

...
