big bastard coat  (  a  p o e t r y  o f  p o e m  )


weather's fluster, fountain's pen

feather's duster, mountain's men

augur's hawker, water's wren

wading neath the eaves


speckle's leopard, saddle's wax

freckle's shepherd, baffle's axe

bladder's ladder - parallax

weevil in the weave


prickle's onion, bumble's bees

pickle's bunion, stumble's knees

dudgeon's dungeon - dungarees

butter bean the breeze


river's otter, adder's puff

titter's totter, clatter's ruff

patter's pastor - splatter's stuff

haversack the heaves


swelter's welder, coddle's eggs

skelter's helter, cobble's webs

nozzle's schnozzle - wobble's head

bobbing on the seas


rabble's raven, apple's pips

babble's station, battle's ships

basin's maiden - bag o'tricks

lurk up thursday's sleeve

wednesday morning  (  a n o t h e r  b a s t a r d  r e w r i t e  )



weasel's sneeze & dogwood's walking

eagle's breeze as tungsten's talking

aplphabets & gamma's waving

pigeons shit on yeoman yawning


brambles bud & thoughts-a-forming

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

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
