sink’s the ditty  (  s o m e  r h y m e z  )

…





chuck's the churn & muck's the jitty

hum's worm & squirm's the chilli

ring's the sing & grain's the gravy

spurred's the urn & stuck's the sticky


dog's the doze & goat's the billy

cog's the wheel & eel's the slippy

groat's the boat & dozed's the daisy

tick's the list & stick's the city


knell's the bell & spell's the dizzy

ink's the blink & peck's the biddy

speck's the neck & hazed's the hazy

spoke's the oak & pond's the lily


cat's the flap & scrap's the kitty

skip's the mist & mid's the piggy

tune's the spoon & rune's the wavy

&'s the sand & sink's the ditty

citrus thyme

citrus thyme  (  p o e m z  o f  d o o m z  )

…






the goose is rat, the shops are sand

with ghosts & notes so noose the band

the children splay & sing in swine

for samba's claws & tinsel spine


the church is lurch, the squirm is canned

with dame again so germ's the land

the hare is snared & poached in pine

for cycle spokes & bible brine


the crash is king, the pubs are gland

with floss & toss so sat's the stand

the spider's hulled as is the twine

for shingle bells & citrus thyme

...

lemonode

lemonode  (  ‘ n u f f  s a i d  )

…




oh plastic plumes of alcazar

& nimble-tingled balthazar

i twinkle for your starred bazaar

oh plastic plumes of alcazar


oh sparkled jug of cirrus shrouds

& ninja-spindled nimbus clouds

i jungle for your silver plough

oh sparkled jug of cirrus clouds


oh tangled tin of chattered chimes

& crystal-fumbled pantomimes

i summer in your bubble climes

oh tangled tin of chattered chimes


oh crackled glass of whispered code

& sprinkle-glistened overload

i tread your wintered citrus road

so whurr my words - my lemonode

the node is black

the node is black  (  a  p o e m z  )

…





the node is black & brogue's the knave

of sod's the socks & crap's the pave

the hill's the beans & quills the cat

that birds the worms & tails the dave


the crowns are cloaks & stoke's the stave

as scribe's the hen that hems the they've

the clown is frogs that flare the hat

& spot the watt then doze the shave


the moor is spoor & yore's the lathe

yet hum's the herd that pied the wave

that swat the eyed & mead the map

to perm the worm & ant the rave


the plank is sands & cat's the cave

of wing the bells & thatch the save

as wife is lard & fried's the bat

that yelps us sieve & stodge the grave

...

fuck a duck  (  a  b r i e f  e s s a y  t h a t ‘ s  a  p o e m  i n s t e a d  )

…




knell's the spell of thunder-truck

spun's the thumb & sunder sucks

pop's the pip of boar's the gore

bell's the swing & string's the pluck


snare's the mare of stumble-stuck

still's the quill & stable mucks

sing's the whale of shale's the shore

swift's the swoop & gloop's the gluck


burr's the bird of bumble-snuck

hen's the pen & crumble clucks

lick's the tick of brick's the door

pearl's the twirl & swirl's the shuck


sag's the rut of stagger-struck

rag's the ink & badgers buck

ink's the blink of nought's the screw

spew the shrew & fuck a duck
