trar luh lar  ( 3 0  s e c o n d  r e a d  ,  n o  f e e  c h a r g e d  )

…

warble scrawls as woodlands ring

petalled bells & nettles sting

wings within the drips of spring

reservoirs of repertoire


sirens on the grain & ale

whales upon a sliding scale

squawks up in an autumn dale

inklings pissing on a star


yoke the eggs of scrambled codes

music breeds with prose in odes

so it rains & vans shat loads

- yodel from a cable car


rabid swans of avalon

marbles, mars & babylon

everyone is trad-anon

bards & bars of trar luh lar

…

marmalade mondays

sparkles in a darker shade

ants within the pavement cracks

marching as a parlour maid

marmalade mondays


kangaroo tuesdays

flopping on an avenue

past the tudor rose of flats

gloaming as those romans do

kangaroo tuesdays


morris men wednesdays

skipping in a ribbon's fish

as the pheasants parallax

pissing imps of limericks

morris men wednesdays


lemon curd thursdays

jumbles in the mumble peach

river runs & dripping taps

sucking as a lucking feach

lemon curd thursdays


pigeon pie fridays

thatterway & plane the skies

left a right in feathered flaps

( saturday? the same applies )

pigeon pie fridays


twiddle thumb sundays

sunken on a feather bed

chapel bells & scrapping bats

sycamore  (  a  p o e m  )

…

in black chapels of crab apples

as jack-badgers jig in jaggles

& chip chaffinch chatter jackals

as a maiden tames a shrew


in fir forests of frost otters

as frog-florists cough in coffers

& green beavers sneeze on loggers

as the vicars sniff on glue


in red temples of lead pencils

as black adders fast for lentils

& grey ravens bass the trebles

as the saxons tax a pew


or squawk orchards of auk orphans

as incisors grind on organs

& jawed georgians war with gorgons

i shall sycamore - for yew

warps & squall  (  a  f u c k i n ‘  p o e m  w h a t  r h y m e z z z z z z z )

…

hum a drum & tongue a tulip

cousin of the cubist's rubric

mumbles spin in mutant music

staggers of the stand & stall


amp a lamp & gas the traffic

scrambles of the cattle magic

cackles in a crackle attic

flapping bats & badgers brawl


snake a fist & twist a sweater

flaking as the squinter feather

lemonade & garden weather

garbles of the scarf & shawl


pit a dig & trot a foxglove

jigging in the rubber dog's dub

brick a shit & dot the dot stuff

dawdles of the dwarf & tall


hail a snail & tail a comet

a to g & scale a sonnet

trail a toad as boxes frog it

hopping on the road & crawl


ding a ring & rib a kidney

kippers kiss the hissing chimney

whistles tin of nipples slippy

rivers mist the cat & call


own your grow & poke a puddle

caw the crow that blows a bubble

apropros & glow in rubble

portals in the porch & hall


leap the flea & on the office

pod the pea that odds the office

scree the tree & fog the forest

warble on in warps & squall

blue july  (  n u f f  s a i d  f o r  o n c e  )

…

hedges row & ants with wings

dragon as the adder sings

allegro of sinking things

roses red & rye


orchards snore & moorland burns

runner beans as summer churns

green is gurning in the ferns

bottle drop & fly


bramble jams & thicket thicks

babbles as the lizard spits

battle bat & wicket stick

shit a brick & cry


colour floats & colour fades

poets poke the sputter haze

stutters in a nutter maze

prickle pig & sty


breezes sneeze & scar tissues

breath is bent as marbles spews

death chars on the barbecue

blue july - & i


rivers pant as pasture browns

thunder drums - the clatter drowns

slipping grips on ladders down

shudder earth & sky
