bonfire nightmare ( eramthgin erifnob )

…

black magic thunder

      shades of the somme

blitz with aplomb

      & the band slayed on

bang, bang, boom

      clangs the clamour & the doom

louder than a thousand

      brian bloody blesseds

sounding it off

      with a million ian paisleys

roman candles pop

      so the crackles snap

jumping jacks reel

      catherine’s in her wheel

sparklers in the garden

      bonfire night

normalzzz umm ‘n’ arrh

      hypnotised by shite

toffee apple twats

      gasp in wanker bobble hats

we’re indoors

      hiding from the wars

shell shocked dog

      cat in a flap

more tea, vicar?

      mister molotov?

penny for the guy?

      here’s a fiver – fuck off

head over heliotropes ( seportoileh revo daeh )

…

beginning in the midlands

the sun behind your eyes

      a stick in the muddle

      a bubble teapot

a pebble in my pocket

speckled like a frog

      in the throat of a stoat

      & another morning floats

as the catkins nap

listen, siskins sing

      the present is a pheasant

      croaking like a toad

the past is pickled onions

& mint choc chip

      mind the bloody gap

      & the jibber-jabber’s trap

the future is a boot

a flutter & a flute

      fly through the shite

      of a deep blue night

reel as a wheel

then the milky way is silky

      the rest is reverie

      & everyone ate cornflakes

when the autumn spawns

croak upon a speckled log

a frog in a throat

( alternative names for winter ) ( retniw rof senam evitanretla )

…

moss greening season

lichen’s lantern light

catkin naptime

snow’s intermission

the mistletoe months

frost’s interregnum

hot chocolate’s calling

the doldrum’s rectum

spring’s bleak prequel

haunted autumn’s sequel

the bleak mid-wither

summer’s evil twin

barking stuff ( ffuts gnikrab )

…

barking in a wood
the bark of a postage stamp
but the bark stops here

bark where i belong
eyes in the bark of my head
all the way bark home

& barking the trend
feel like a million barks
scratching my bark side

bark against the wall
it’s water off a duck’s bark
the bark of beyond

we’re in the bark yard
like johann sebastian
yeah, bark to square one

bark in the saddle
with a monkey on your bark
barking both horses
