dog this ( siht god )
…
dogwood tree
beg for a biscuit
doggerel verse smith
pee up a lamp post
dog eared scribbles
– go to your bed
doghouse builder
growling at the postman
dogfish mongers
chasing squirrels in the park
dog days of summer
come here & sit
salty sea dog
jump for your ball
dog star rising
fetch me my slippers
…

& the last poet
on that night
had nits
as the bright lights flickered
& the microphone cracked
& the last poet
on that night
had nits
when the full moon bloomed
then a dead duck quacked
& the last poet
on that night
had nits
ruffles on their scalp
where the parasites attacked
& the last poet
on that night
had nits
scratching along
with the head lice act

how to cure constipation ( noitapitsnoc eruc ot woh )
…
drink a glass of water
ride on a log flume
under blooming moons
eat a tin of prunes
or snooker balls
especially the greens
nestle on your throne
singing god save the queen
pogo in loose clothing
over sleeping policeman
play peekaboo
with yourself – in the mirror
spot the horse manure
& see bluebottles dine
or just write a poem
& dump the deed online
…
( author notes )
for those that don’t know
a sleeping policeman
is actually a speed bump
& not a copper
having a nap on the road
– it’s just a silly name
p.s
constipation is an anagram
of titanic spoon

if you don’t write … ( … etirw t’nod uoy fi )
…
the birds will go on strike
& picket line the springtide
dawn will lose her chorus
( subtitles unavailable )
as the normalzzz soar
in a bland of opportunity
you, a one of we
the weird beyond the blear
will smoulder as the smoke
on the sixth of november
disappear like keys
or a conjuror’s rabbit
up the back passage
of aimless anus lane
feasting on the bugs
in a philanthropist’s bluetopia
the pens will run dry
like a cursed herd
the spoken word commando’s
of tiktok will rise
like the ghost of mordred
from the lurking shadows
so the sun will shine shades
of shite – not gravy

the truth about train conductors ( srotcudnoc niart tuoba hturt eht )
…
they’re always born
on a wednesday teatime
delayed because the trees
went on strike
so there were no leaves
to use as an excuse
on the lines between the stations
& other destinations
as gremlins nicked the sleepers
senior management ate quail
& another swan dies
on the duck pond of despondency

poetry’s a spanner ( rennaps a s’yrteop )
…
sing a song of sinking sand
inking with a hidden hand
dwindle in a mirror land
spot y’ doppelgänger
pissing on the garden lawn
of a twisted misted morn
as the farting farmers yawn
gargle martian grammar
see beyond the jibber’s swan
jabbering the bland of yon
grab the dunce’s hat ‘n’ don
stuttering a stammer
runcible’s the silver spoon
nincompoop the afternoon
we, the piffle’s children loon
waving not a banner
picking pickled prosody
paper plane this odyssey
every sock’s an oddity
when the ham’s a hammer
am’ the dram’ of river flows
quiver then the feather blows
scribble on with broken toes
poetry’s a spanner

rain dance off ( ffo ecnad niar )
…
clops upon the roofs
it’s the cloven hoofs
of a pygmy goat
underneath the grey
sailors reel away
on a pea green boat
prancing with the lamb
when the welkins slam
as the treetops waltz
yonder trots a fox
jigging bits ‘n’ bops
when the sun’s horse bolts
thunder rumbas drums
gutters speak in tongues
when the frogmen tap
fading in the close
shades of twinkle toes
then the rainbows clap

more definitions of a poemz ( zmeop a fo snoititnifed erom )
…
songs from beyond
a bonce upon a time
missives in the mist
tusks upon a tongue
ghosts in the post
letters from the otherlings
the notes of a scrote
on the worldwide cobweb
prose & music’s mutant
offspring offerings
rhymes from the original
channel effing tunnel
scribbles & quibbles
in your rotten cabbage diary
yet my sweet achilles
heliotrope
