the fog is flap  (  a  p o e t r y  o f  p o e m  )



the fog is flap & glen's the fen

that fleck's the speck & sense the sen

the head is nest & peck's the hen

as sing's the spring & wren's the pen


the tread is shell & egg's the on

that rings the bells & spells the gone

the year is beer & blear's the yon

as hog's the hedge & spear's the swan


the flute is flue & flight's the flow

that caws the roar & tugs the tow

the bask is black & night's the glow

as brawn's the morn & dawn's the crow


the ink is finch & glide's the walk

that plods the squab & gobs the squawk

the wood is toots & scoot's the stalk

as spy's the eye & sight's the hawk


the wing is string & pot's the luck

that spills the bills & quacks the cluck

the whirl is pool & spool's the struck

as rain's the thwack & back's the duck


the speak is beak & spin's the spurred

that seeks the seed & spoons the stirred

the ruff is plume & hoot's the slurred

as burst's the merge & blur's the bird

breadcrumbs

breadcrumbs  (  a  ?  )




a flicker in the vicarage

a tingle in the toe

a ripple in the waterbed

a footprint in the snow


a feather in the dresser drawer

a pebble in the shoe

a marble in the garden shed

a spanner in the screw


a ladder in the library

a needle in the mow

a weasel in the binary

a dagger in the glow


a clover in the grocer's store

a vista in the view

a cipher in the spider's web

a pencil in the clue

( ? )

scrawl calls

scrawl calls  (  o n e  o ‘  t h e m  p o e m  t h i n g s  )




sonnets spun of consonants

bibles swiped of b's

novels penned for ombudsmen

graphs of graffiti


hoi poloi - the corduroy blears

horns & headers three

magic maps for morris men

missing sheets of key


anagram the agar man

scrapes of symmetry

speckles in the river mist

spurts of herbal tea


squinter whiffs of potpourri

warble binary

portals in the otter ink

plods of podded pea


feather in the blether cap

flaps of tapestry

squiggles in the kitchen sink

squints of symphony


bubble bursts & stumble stubs

bubmles of the bee

doodles drawn of noodle spawn

dawdle diary


dialogues for miming troupes

notes on groceries

diatribes & scattered scribes

hagiographies


babbles on for babylon

scribbles soak the sea

saturn suns the dagger cloak

poetry of tree

compositions  (  a n o t h e r  m u d d l e r i c k  )



i dribble birds of pickle hearse - my bends - they blink i'm plaid

to turd a sleigh & slime the flay & feet through dong & fad

to hen the bongs that swill the gongs

& flights that pie my pipe

i dribble birds of pickle hearse but loft this snakes me lad

sunder the blether  (  a  m u d d l e r i c k  )



the sprite be blonde the minnow groans & batter bats the brain

the quiver in the galley bones as butter sluts the crane

i shit beer bin my sodom goth

& purse the pie - puck cough

i stony tipped town squander slop & won't snow snout again

huffer-puff  (  a  m u d d l e r i c k  )


oh, pie could wriggle sodden girth & night nurse rust bike brew

ewe pout i can - oh huffer-puff but trucker - snow - it's shrew

a peas of hiss this sliming spit

hen wall is shed & tit

oh, ie could wriggle sodden girth - eye hood - sput won't font glue

sozzer plods  (  a  p o e m  )



the trudge is fudge & brussel sprout

as cabbage spins the sauerkraut

& rivers leap the salmon trout

it's bubble in this praetor out


the thaw is gnaw & puddle daze

as badgers cask the drunken rays

& ladders snake the puzzle maze

it's sable in this mayonnaise


the stead is bread & phantom limbs

as weasels sweep the onion skins

& squinter whips the water wings

it's portal in this caudal fin


the shim is shrew & rubber ball

as butter toads the splutter scrawl

& curtains spurt the splutter crawl

it's scribble in this overhaul
