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

...

squall is a porpoise  (  a  p o e m  )

…

isle bee the breeze

& the cheese in the chantry

yule shoe the vole

in the sole of the mole

wheel pod as peas

as the hedge hogs the pantry

squall is a porpoise

& pebbles of coal
