blather nuts & dust in may  (  a  p o e m  f o r  t h e  m o t h  o f  t h e  m o n t h  )

…

cattle prods & castaway

badger dancer cabaret

sniffles in the garden nose

roses glow as hoses spray


gargle on & thatterway

natter ladder saturday

slithering in adder socks

otters hop as osses neigh


seasonally & penguins sleigh

triggering the manta ray

breezes weave a whistling

ribbons imp the maiden day


morris men & branches sway

holographic holiday

tingle spindle ninja spine

shining as the rising hay


pasture grass & potter's clay

scribbles in a squirrel's drey

laughing gas as chaffinches

chatters chin the passageway


taurus turns & snores away

lemon sky's the water's way

gemini's the scatter-rush

blather nuts & dust in may

...

dipping sheet  (  r h y m e s  f o r  y o u r  m i n d  )

…

bonce upon a bog of peat

heather beds the trundle's sleet

polka dotted otter socks

shuffle sun & sugar beet


barble birr as tossers tweet

thunder tongues in jumble's heat

gibber jerks the chickenpox

carrot tops & parakeets


fingers burr a buttered beat

custard skins the syrup suite

circles of the spotted dots

spheres of ears & whirrs of wheat


spinning plates as weasels eat

waving in the mead 'n' greet

jotters of the padded locks

gibber stream & river sweet


natters on a nutter seat

scatters of the pasture's bleat

inking six & ticking clocks

seven seas a phantom fleet


patters dance on cobbled streets

shepherd shims in skidding feet

singing songs of watt the flock

pissing ink & dipping sheet

...

a scribble a day  (  a  p o e t r y  )

…

a coroner stirs in croaks of crow

an orator birds & stokes the glow

that prattles the gleam

& shafts the stream

in twinkles of toes as roses row


a peasant then preens in dips of dawn

as kettle-hens steam & fist the morn

that badger the sky

& bats the eye

in bollocks of shine & shites of yawn


a smuggler snails in trails of slime

a juggler scales the dales & climbs

the tips of the tors

on hawks of moors

til scrawling - it balls - & yon, we rhyme


an officer wisps as hats-a-don

a forager whips a splat upon

the scrap of the page

that maps the maze

a scribble a day - & song - we swan

...

pack a lunch & bagpipes  (  a  p o e t r y  )

…

rubber duck & rubric

double dutch as music

muffles puff the duffel

ruffles scruff the tunic


swisher swell & echo

butter cups as yellow

flutter spits the sputter

nutter in the hedgerow


picture witch & mentor

snort a walk as centaurs

singers ring the squinter

tenors enter tent doors


limber jig & sew seed

pinch a pig as pokeweed

romans note the omens

rivers run the nose bleed


dotter eye & seesaw

credently as seashore

spirals squint the cycle

seaman squib the detour


pack a lunch & bagpipes

flash a punch a lamplights

murmurs mist the bursar

spaniels win the catfights

...

melon twisters, leaden leaders

mirror watchers, ticks-a-tocking


copper cauldrons, y'olden pheasants

cousin dozens, covens stirring

scrumple scrolls & golden peasants

button onions - ovens burning


rubber chickens, pissing weather

spittle kettles, kitchens sinking

pens-a-singing - list forever

stutter's dripping, missions inking
