…

fading embers blacken

frozen elm blossom

fucking ether bonnets

floating earwig balladeers

feathered elfin bungalows

faraway's early birds

fried enzyme breadcrumbs

foxes eating breakfast

farting endamame beans

forgetful elephants blunder

fourteen ermine bursaries

fifteen eels bongo

frisking eastern breezes

filling egg baskets

flagellating easter's bollocks

for every badger

revolution 432  (  234 noitulover  )

…

seasons gleamings

feathered friends

dusters


cauliflower

cotton cloud

clusters


sputters utter

spiders spin

spirals


pickled cabbage

sandwiches

cycles


spins the middle

of the month's

morning


crunching numbers

thunder drums

warning


so, a poem

rivers twist

melons


summer salad

ballads suck

lemons


seven sisters

cygnus sings

swansongs


silver bullets

scatter graphs

long johns


startled starlings

starting go's

stopwatch


pocus hocus

broken toe

hopscotch


...

( author notes )

i stole the title of this poem from a book

revolution 432 is the name of a chapter

in the cygnus key by andrew collins

a fascinating read

which didn't really inspire this little scribble

beyond me nicking the title

but credit where credit's due

as all forms of plagiarism are utterly deplorable

porridge poem  (  meop egdirrop  )

…

grain of the quakers, the crofters & me


tossers ( of cabers ) - the caledonii


winter is whipping a storm on the sea


sweeten with sugar, a splodge of honey


milk of the almond, the thistle or goat


warming december - the meal of the oat


bowls for the golden, a grizzly or three


breakfast for supper & porridge for tea

the last buttercup  (  pucrettub tsal eht  )

…

the last buttercup

slipped through the fingers


of autumn in spore

& into the winter


a swish in a swell

a ghost of the yellow


alone in the snow

the fruits of an echo


a shard of a star

so here - on the clearing


a gathering mass

of school trips & pilgrims


the last buttercup

slipped through the fingers


& lived for six hundred

trillion years

smoking salmon pink  (  knip nomlas gnikoms  )

…

smoking salmon pink

weaving pins & needles


seek the chalk of cheese

chasing herrings red


kipper in this sleep

spinning paper plates


stickleback the front

warble forth & fifth


under witching witching moons

as the kettle's crooning


for the corvid dove

cod is love above


smoking salmon pink

weaving pins & needles


hazing lemonade

winter rose petals

bloody venus … (  … sunev ydoolb  )

…

candle flames of cinnabar

capers in a cable car


bird a bursting reservoir

suck the lemon's seminar


comatose the commissar

clutch a phantom handlebar


piffle piddle, scribble blah

scrawling with the morning star

caterwauls & canticles  (  selcitnac & sluawretac  )

…

animals & minerals

swing the axe of intervals

swans upon an oracle

sybils of the syllables


water clocks & chronicles

box the hares of follicles

kippers in a mackerel sky

spy the eyes of monocles


swivel chairs & musicals

podded peas & cubicles

prosody in cotton socks

christenings in funerals


vesta, vests & vegetables

scatter graphs & tentacles

camping on a mutant moon

kiss the mist of spectacles


rubber ducks & bicycles

penning then of tricycles

springing with the winter wren

thawing with the icicles


caterwauls & canticles

faster flap the madrigals

cousins of the cul-de-sac

singing on sabbaticals
