have you seen the trees?

have you seen the trees? ( ?seert eht nees uoy evah )

hairy fairy aerials
wooden antennae

stubble of the land
hugger of i

on a wander’s pause
watchers of the forest

towers fit for owls
dendrous cousins

them of up above
dryad gaff’s

pixie apartment’s
lumberjack fodder

sunbeam deflector’s
squirrel castle’s

bracers of gales
barking like a dog

battlers of storms
tamers of the jet stream

shades of the glades
rain neutralisers

have you seen the trees?
logged & noted too?

our friends arboreal
as they’ve seen you

pinch another punchline

~

pinch another punchline ( enilhcnup rehtona hcnip )

mizzle of a morn’
walking in the sheet
under scrumpled thunder
plodding sodden feet

piffle in the head
lead between the legs
scribble up a riddle
then the pencil smegs

metaphorically
‘neath the weaving skies
seeking eager egrets
herons in disguise

buds upon the bare
branches where the bears
crap within the copses
or the boxing hares

yes, the west is east
when the north is south
spinning in the midlands
muddles in the mouth

rabid rabbit’s white
’tis another moth
pinch another punchline
sigh & bugger off

blowing with the crows
flying as the bar
’til the spring is ringing
chiming like a star

twenty twenty toodleooh

~

twenty twenty toodleooh ( hooeldoot ytnewt ytnewt )

see the evening starlings

where the air is up

      walk a muddy path

      laughing like a mallard

wonder like a bra

can flying fish swim?

      can they see space

      from the great wall of china?

is the queen a bloke

with a royal todger?

      maybe, if prince phillip

      was her birthing ladyboy

anyways, the moon

is crooning of a future

      but the moon’s unjabbed

      & hasn’t had a booster

soon she shall be cancelled

selene in a gulag

      when the karens moan so

      sing before the storm

parp another parsnip

from the annal’s passage

      pen another then

      scratch your hairy annus

secret code – secrete cod

~

secret code – secrete cod ( doc eterces – edoc terces )

bury fear in february
find the charm in march

& emit time
flowing in wolf gin

seek the lows in owls
spud war & upwards

clod us in clouds
reach for stars or tsars

spinning so in sinning sop
breathing in giant herb

ogle v in glove
see the vole in love

oscillate those lilac toes
santa & satan

live life like an anagram
or
a rag man

actual pan sexual

~

actual pan sexual ( lauxes nap lautca )

he of hoofs ‘n’ horns

pan, the green man goosing nymphs

rutting in the woods

( author notes )

dear attention seeking brats / rainbow gestapo

this is not shit-posting

just some harmless wordplay

so calm down

we made the moon

~

we made the moon ( noom eht edam ew )

we lit the sun
with matches & straw
on whitsun
eighteen eighty four

my, what a sight
flaming ball of light
a lantern
after shafts of night

we peed the seas
mixing pop with tea
& coffee
– a cacophony

’til oceans flowed
where land disappeared
sages swear
stroking floating beards

we made the moon
with cheeses & glue
in april
nineteen ninety two

probably the first
before midday
that was all us
– or so we like to say

couplets runneth over

~

couplets runneth over ( revo htennur stelpuoc )

scribble piffle pen
peck a rubber hen

pick a pepper pot
hare the ware’s of what

where the air is green
bouncing like a bean

sound in endless daze
chasing laser rays

buzzing in the night
bee the speed of light

badger up a hill
with a feathered quill

bother all the crows
fill the blanks of prose

prance a wanker dance
hornets in y’ pants

pantomime away
in the pissing grey

’til the circuit’s juiced
as the normalzzz boost

knickers in a spin?
– lick minerva’s chin

scribble piffle pen
peck a rubber hen
