utnapishtim pish
spent pennies from heaven
what the quack ordered

the waz of the gods
high tides on magonia
floating noah’s boat

a river’s lifeblood
answering the shaman’s dance
bringer of puddles

quencher of gardens
& the splash within a birdbath
a storm’s hearth fire

why cagoules are cool
mate of macs & anoraks
grass’s ganymede

feeder of the trees
filler of ponds, lochs & lakes
sating all again

why not write about … ?

why not write about … ? ( ? … tuoba etirw ton yhw )

…

granny knotted baling twine
not a reef or hercules

why the green finch
is purple in your journals

buttons of the bronze age
once upon a swan

postcards from nowhere’s
hairy anus

partridges in beech trees
& the latest shrew news

humpty dumpty, humpbacks
the whales or the bridges

…

gently caress the heels”

hikes ‘n’ yikes

hikes ‘n’ yikes ( sekiy ‘n’ sekih )

…

the rising cost of tea
& cheapo custard creams

the soaring price of squiddy ink
& sheets of recycled tree

or “paper” ( if you must )
is bumming poetry

up the hairy backroad
where the brown bears growl

see the normans harrying
norf f.c

yoking like the romans
when they’re claudine forked

effed or rogered
this is not a jolly flag

hags in flighty nighties
bull eyed bellends

poke us with cattle prods
& invisible twigs

all the normalzzz shudder
barking utter bollards

so the bend is near
chafe the evening breezy

& pay fifty quid or else
for this scribbled “freebie”
