after the cows
come down from the clouds

hanging heady heads
& gurning like a gibbon

chewing on a wasp
– when gingerbread men

outwit foxes
as neil ferguson

wins the euro millions
with the numbers he predicted

so before midday
on the forty fourth of august

or a wonky evening
come the sixty ninth of june

with a meal for two
from a pea & a rice grain

under purple suns
on a nun’s front garden

until narnia
invades ruritania

preamble

preamble ( elbmaerp )

…

once upon a this
sits a twat in candlelight
tosser be thy name

yes, the thy is me
we’s the river flowing so
dance another flame

as the normalzzz snore
’til the dandelions roar
stirring like a cock

cockerel – not a nob
but the cheese of poetry
as an unwashed sock

often whiffs a scent
washing pegs on nostril’s time
as a spanner scrawls

versing in reverse
i’m a spider – yet a fly
all is rubber walls

walk beyond the song
of a sinking cygnet swan
in a glugging tub

grow a glowing pear
where the air is chasing hares
nature is the rub

stuff rhyme ( emyhr ffuts )

…

the golden of y’olden
a hole in a view
a vole in a bucket
a shrew in y’ shoe

the mirroring river
a riddling mist
a stirring of serpents
a snake of a fist

the shake of the branches
the shape of the morn’
a creaking of evening
a croaking of spawn

with pencils ‘n’ lentils
the flow of the ebb
a parsnip, a starship
a tangle of web

a biscuit, a basket
the up in away
the ghost of october
the maidens of may

the wind in the woodland
a plucking of strings
a stapler, a caper
& other such things

…

the dalek buds of may

the dalek buds of may ( yam fo sdub kelad eht )

…

nettles run this planet earth
when the cuckoo’s near

come the eve of whitsuntide
in the northern sphere

of an egg in milky space
of a holocene

so the dandelions roar
on the grasses green

in the pantaloons of spring
see the thicket rise

throbbing like a time lord’s hearts
‘fore our mutant eyes

tangled brambles climbing high
by the garden gate

laser ray the weeds away
– exterminate, exterminate

coffee & sneezy

coffee & sneezy ( yzeens & eeffoc

…

patter on the pane
pitter on again

nailing a tale
on a force ten gale

lock a locket tight
tenter is the night

hooked upon the spy
of a spider’s eye

when eleven calls
crawling up the walls

bolt a howling door
while the loft mice roar

spin a growling oak
heaving even’s soak

weave a drier though
’til horizons glow
