Poetry

enter december –

…


enter december –
unseasonably warm
between each polar vortex

enter december –
feasting on baked beans
& sausages for teatime

enter december –
may contain nuts
& hazardous packaging

enter december –
frosty cobwebs
on the footpath home

enter december –
crows caw in the dawn
your new ringtone

enter december –
smelling of z – list
celebrity fragrances

enter december –
having swam eleven lengths
& eaten their weetabix

enter december –
a photo of a solitary
swan on a calendar

enter december –
the undefeated sun
a greener in between

enter december –
& exit november
a ghostly bonfire

enter december –
sweaters & vests
& thermal underpants

…

instead of a poem

…

a cold rice pudding
fresh out the can
stodgy yet lost

& an icicle which since
melted in my hand
from last night’s frost

a sellotape roll
without a found end
so good luck with that then

an unwritten book
with white space within &
no isbn

the latest normie goss
about yours truly
none of which is true

five pence in change
two twos & a one
no receipt – now shoo

…

promo numpty

…

your advert goes here
the one about the holiday
in smug sunshine
or the latest wearable
that we’ll never wear – because
that’s n.p.c ‘reepy
or your miraculous pile cream
or chocolate flamethrower
whatever you wish
( dear mister e.washy )
to flog us all with next
