isle bee the breeze

& the cheese in the chantry

cucumber sandwiches  (  a  r h y m e  z  )

…

whistles of nipples

& ripples of radishes

salmon are crooning

of cucumber sandwiches


mist on the vista

& ladders in languages

tights on a tiger

& cider in challices


pandas in panzers

& badgers in bandages

swooping in stukas

at camels in carriages


sing is the sister

of chatter in chaffinches

shrews on a shroomner

as brassica cabbages

...
