the all of almonds

the all of almonds  (  sdnomla fo lla eht  )

…






lick a leaden pencil

pick a pickled pepperpot


pluck the strings of vernal

vests - & peck the feather rot


suck a lecking lemon

bird the blurs & grouse the house


sound around the garden

lark a sunken summerhouse


squall a falling autumn

colander a calendar


bumble in the jumble's

sea & bee the manager


scrawl the all of almonds

scribble in the april rain


scrambles in the attic

chasing paper planes agin

gnicuob  (  bouncing  )

…






like a magic bean

on a trampoline


as the pippet sings

& the onion springs


spirals in the mind

pillared posts behind


fading greys & blacks

hopping winter's tracks


frog with the gnu

shades of kangaroo


cronus sews the dales

chasing tiggered tails


green the leaves of brown

bobbing up & down


'til the curtain scrawls

all is rubber balls

buttercup affiliate  (  etailiffa pucrettub  )

piffle pickle prosody

utter otter odyssey


scratch the gibbon mandible

pissing in a canticle


spinning-inner galaxy

sing a throbbing fallacy


nibble broken biscuit so

scribble cricket overflow


ring-a-ring-a-rosemary

kill the thyme of poetry


bladder adder alibi

flaccid acid alkali


sunder neath the reverie

suck the speckled lemon tree


buttercup affiliate

blither spillage idiot

cobweb watchers

~

cobweb watchers  (  srehctaw bewboc  )

…






cobweb watchers

watching the cobwebs


wraiths of the gateposts

ghosts on the ceiling


clouds for the cloudless

bespoke & woven


hang in the attic

facing a maze


spying a spider

feast on a greenfly


fruits of arachne

dance in the drafting


cobweb watchers

watching the cobwebs


tangle & strangle

- who watches us

( ? )

fuck knows

pen then pen

~

pen then pen  (  nep neht nep  )

…







pen then pen

pepper crusted pencil necks


cut throat cuttlefish

slo-mo interlude


glue gun dog

sunken onion scatterings


bigwig little owl

mud brown trouser press


bright white light

lemon scented lententide


long, black cul-de-sac

catnap caravan


gleam green stream

seven sister planetoids


android adenoids

alabaster anorak

…







fading embers blacken

frozen elm blossom

fucking ether bonnets

floating earwig balladeers

feathered elfin bungalows

faraway's early birds

fried enzyme breadcrumbs

foxes eating breakfast

farting endamame beans

forgetful elephants blunder

fourteen ermine bursaries

fifteen eels bongo

frisking eastern breezes

filling egg baskets

flagellating easter's bollocks

for every badger

revolution 432

revolution 432  (  234 noitulover  )

…






seasons gleamings

feathered friends

dusters


cauliflower

cotton cloud

clusters


sputters utter

spiders spin

spirals


pickled cabbage

sandwiches

cycles


spins the middle

of the month's

morning


crunching numbers

thunder drums

warning


so, a poem

rivers twist

melons


summer salad

ballads suck

lemons


seven sisters

cygnus sings

swansongs


silver bullets

scatter graphs

long johns


startled starlings

starting go's

stopwatch


pocus hocus

broken toe

hopscotch


...

( author notes )

i stole the title of this poem from a book

revolution 432 is the name of a chapter

in the cygnus key by andrew collins

a fascinating read

which didn't really inspire this little scribble

beyond me nicking the title

but credit where credit's due

as all forms of plagiarism are utterly deplorable

porridge poem

~

porridge poem  (  meop egdirrop  )

…





grain of the quakers, the crofters & me


tossers ( of cabers ) - the caledonii


winter is whipping a storm on the sea


sweeten with sugar, a splodge of honey


milk of the almond, the thistle or goat


warming december - the meal of the oat


bowls for the golden, a grizzly or three


breakfast for supper & porridge for tea
