scrawl aboard - the captain calls
scribbles on a holiday
cattle in a folded sheet
fingers slip & up away
origami metal bird
chocs wahey! & toodleooh
ants below are ants below
aether is ceiling's blue
hobble whirrs of turbulence
slipping on a butter breeze
wobble as a hoverfly
feet above the rugged seas
passengers in paper planes
flying through the living room
darting to the carpet then
crashing with a silent boom

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
