from great urns

from great urns ( a smack my keats up versus the met office of a poem )

…




scattered from great urns above us

spattered bits in bursts of sputter

grey meets green & other colours

life & death are cousin-lovers


staggers here & taps on awning

chattered words & birds as warnings

cakes awake & serpents yawning

sprinkles on a half-baked morning


pattered earth & maybe riddles

jabbered codes of brainy fizzle

muffled drops & building trickles

listen to the summer drizzle

...












































a different toothpaste

a different toothpaste ( a poem )

…



ants in pants & phantoms three

jacobites & raspberries

aunties stuck down lead mine shafts

cowpats, hats & bramble trees


plastic maps & galaxies

huguenots & blackberries

westward ho! for stomach ache

nettle stings & fallacies


thoughts of socks & saxony

hoses trot to canterbury

lizards sing for liquorice

post-it notes & tapestries


random scraps of sanity

hedges, bets & strategies

puddles of a muddled kind

rainy daze & rhapsodies

...










































































phyllis’ tendrils

~

phyllis’ tendrils ( another moan in disguise )

…


hoops as cocks & crows up me nose

stuttering kneecaps - fidgety toes

bits of dicks like pricks from a rose

marjorie's memory - frightening ghosts


storms indoors & crashing pin drops

bumbling farmers - trampling crops

sirens sing by boarded up shops

gladys is anger - i'm for the chop


blooming moons as brooks flow upstream

thundering loose slates - blessings maybe

bricks are shat with deafening screams

deirdre's a nightmare - unbound by dreams


owls that howl & pavements in cracks

shuddering serpents - shaky as fact

fucked am i so prone to attack

phyllis' tendrils

drag me right back
