rain another summer poem  (  a b a b – a c a c – a d a d – a e a e  )

…



piss a fish of stomach mumbles

sister of the sunken onions

butter cups the finger fumbles

singing ships & drumming dungeons


pan a flash of river ripples

brother of the ocean's potions

jingles in the dingles' jungles

dragons snap & motion lotions


paddle plums of puddle pummels

rat in rafts of flapping rafters

ladders run the river rundles

quacking cats & laughing adders


noah-float as bumble stumbles

smother of the huddled-hours

clatter claps & summer tumbles

sputter mud & drown the flowers

...

romans in the clover

aquilegia legions

tennis elbow hedgerow

silver serpents spoon


sugar for the shudders

blisters of the vistas

badger-hands in foxgloves

scatter mat & rune


dragonfly & damsels

swarming swords & sandals

tangles in the brambles

buzzards hum a tune


pollen pox & nectar

fluid of the druids

rhododendron fresco

echo at the moon


sneezes on the breezes

spotted-socks & cheeses

pipers in the pasture

iris afternoon


mumbles in the jumbles

wickets, sticks & crickets

scribble on the milk-skin

jiggle-in the june

( chopping blocks & shopping trolleys )  (  a  r e w r i t e  . . .  g a s p  )

…



sing a song of stinging nettles

chopping blocks & shopping trolleys

fizzle as the mizzle kettle

dots the t's of steaming coffee


dawn's the yawn of pins of speckles

fencing post & pencil folly

blossom possums - sinking petals

sensing ghosts & border collies


spin in rings as hectors heckle

chapel bells & apple toffee

missing cats as fiddles fettle

crackle splats a spittle volley


scrawl a crawl of claws 'n' mettle

evergreen & ever-holly

kitchens sink as sinking freckles

broccoli - & bring a brollie

...

another may poem  (  c l u b f e e t  k n o t  s e a l s  )

…


spinsters sing of wings & pins

weasels weave the winter's hay

rumplestiltskin tilts on stilts

as the attic mantis pray


john the baptist basks in blue

chaffinch chafe the mutant grey

spiders munch a tuffet-lunch

eating curds of words & whey


shuck is barking in the park

butter cups the pigeon's clay

lugh is flutters of a lark

as the badgers cabaret


bells gazelle as bellends knell

squirrels squiggle in the drey

pebbles plop as stoned's the crow

otters jot & dot the jay


maidens in the dingle ring

ravens raving on the brae

leopards sail the rameses

shepherds shear as yearlings neigh


scribble shats a bastard splat

roses glow as hoses spray

moses mows & noah floats

on another day in may
