pineapple poets
painting paddleboats purple
pensively pausing
plink plonk pianos
penguin penfriends pickle prose
pluviophiles purr
pastoral pirates
perplex peevish poltergeists
pigeons peck pancakes
peter piper prays
precipitation’s pending
plentiful puddles

a waterproof
your backdoor key
the spear of destiny
a pen, a pad
a can of ginger beer
a cardigan
a mars bar
frankincense
myrrh
vaseline
rubber johnnies
garlic cloves
chewy toffee
silver bullets
toothbrush, toothpaste
pickled peppers
five gold rings
my bow of burning gold
my arrows of desire
firelighters
safety matches
ants in your pants
fire extinguisher
rubber chickens
bucket loads of brevity
pickled peppers
a wanker hat
the kitchen bloody sink
& your memory

green becomes greener
as rabbits multiply
vivaldi’s slinky
slithers down the stairs
then clouds disappear
as if never effing here
shafts from the nearest star
tan the garden gnomes
next the air turns like
the tumble drier
of judas iscariot
& frisks the haunted orchard
sooner than a should
& shivers climb our spines
so the apple blossom snows
her iced-white petals

milk float
coffee hover
lemonade sail away
tea on a breeze
water waft
ginger ale drifting
milk float
gently quenching

little miss muffet
shat in a bucket
the bog was too far
& she was touching cloth
– so fuck it

heronries
hieroglyphics
badger gall bladders
apple cider vinegar
fingers of fudge
flannel shorts
sea shanty songbooks
bales of hay
plus all the other stuff
