pppoooeeetttrrryyy ( yyyrrrttteeeoooppp )

pisspot platitudes
pennies from magonia
purple prose comas

odd sock odysseys
otters in your pocket watch
operatic owls

etch upon the mist
elemental excrement
echoes in hedgerows

type tripe titterings
trundle up the eiderdown
tonguing twisted toss

roar like a mouse mat
roundabouts & out again
row your floating boat

yet the yeti see
yesterday’s a paper plane
you fucking pilchard

the things we write ( etirw ew sgniht eht )

dear mrs. worthington,

fear not the fog lights

      wish you were hearsay

      seven bellend lane

long for a gone walk

or silverfish fishing

      full moon looming

      oven’s in the dinner

porpoises, portals

scribble ’til you’re normalzzz

      god is an onion

      sincerely yours, anon

ten crisp crescent

messrs so & so

      wet paint drying while

      – this pen is running ou

see how they rumba

episode three

      once upon a double dip

      chapter ninety nine

die, you fucking goblins

don’t forget a brollie

      eat more broccoli

      see you in the morrow

pen

pen ( nep )


pen a sea of ink
see the kraken eating tea
cakes as clippers sink

plink a twisted nap
dreaming of contortionists
’til the buggers snap

plonk the plums of thyme
life on planet excrement
write this shit in rhyme

pluck a burst of herbs
plough with owls & dance with nouns
adjectives & verbs

pen a sword of sorts
swish as if a scribble’s knight
fight the normalzzz thought’s

pant a pencil’s case
shavings fall from sharpeners
larkers scrawl & face

penguin penumbras
penicillin pentagrams
pungent pensioners

pen another then
ink of squids & tentacles
vegetables & men

screen-locked

screen-locked ( dekcol-neercs )

spot the screen-locked

miss the the unseen

silver orbs soar

over clover

of a morning’s

nature dreamscapes

watching spats

& prancing doctors

see the flesh-bots

supping nectar

lap the sop

of puppy photos

texting friends

that loathe them deeply

dragons dance

in mackerel skies

saxon phantoms

plod their footsteps

roman ghosts

beside their stride

left of tread

the breathing undead

pixie shite

on the sole of their new shoes


also known as

~

also known as ( sa nwonk osla )

the cabbage on a mission

the barking bard of derbyshire

the anti-n.p.c

the owl that wakes at dawn

the lark within the dark

the swordsman with a poundland pen

the fleshling in the realm of bots

the storm without a cup

the tread of pencil lead

the here in distant disappear

a bat amongst the pigeons

a stoat afloat in weasel land

the plod of odder socks

he who must not be name dropped

trad-anon’s son

the weirdo with a thousand faces

ode to a kettle

~

ode to a kettle ( elttek a ot edo )

rise in the dawning
shine before the sleeping sun
warming up morning

spatter & sputter
weaving in the sylphid mist
give us a cuppa

potion a potent
power from your dragon mouth
steam us a moment

fishes & physics
tickets to another land
lover of biscuits

brew me a b-line
dreaming through the afternoon
sing until teatime

huffing & heaving
roar beneath the blooming moon
christen the evening
