silage is golden
the dog ate the silage
freddie starr ate my last rolo
then
i fell into a puddle
on a rainy daze
in gloucester
& met suranne jones
& a narwhal from atlantis
so
it's pantomime season
& the garden gnomes are wassailing
-
moles are the only true
ground breakers left
but
if i were a ptarmigan
in a tartan cardigan

another autumn leaf song ( a b a b c b c b d b d b e b e b )
…
we whistle so in sodden air as minstrels mince with harps on sleeves the apple's flown & swan's the pear the hay is stacked, the barn is sheaves we hum a beat - drum under grey it's dust & dung's the beetle's heaves as even creeps & steals the day as witches stitch the weasel's weaves & on as goslings skein the sky as garrick fly & lichen breathes a dog, a goat, a ghost & i - the wonky slates of woodland's eaves we see them green then see them glow before the snow falls thick as thieves a wave, a trudge & crunch bellow a swan, a song of autumn leaves ...

nosy tree poem ( a p o e t r y o f p o e m s )
…
is it for sniffing a woodland & home ? whiffs of a wood nymph a pixie or gnome ? bells in the springing the song of a lark ? toads on pagodas & lichen on bark ? lightning in august or autumn in spore ? cyclamen's sister then death on the floor ? breath of the breezing a slip of the cow ? thaws in the squinter a drip from the brow ? praps it's for sneezing the cousin of cough ? trees can be breezy but people? - fuck off ...
