lost poem  (  a  n o t e  )





poem missing

have you seen it?

wormed & mongrel

bites if cornered


& you're ginger

lives on daydreams

cake & nectar

winged & feathered


seven antlers

toes of oboe

feeds the pigeons

wonky nostrils


floats on puddles

boats & bubbles

born last whitsun

( cash if caught )

...

circles in the burbles  (  a  p o e m  &  m e o p  a  )




...

circles in the burbles

knuckle dust & buster

swans-a-song a linger

fingers in the butter


fingers in the butter

limber spring & squinter

sing a dawn o' walrus

tortoise in the sprinter


tortoise in the sprinter

suckle sun & teeter

riddles spin the piddles

scribbles in the aether


scribbles in the aether

bubble burst & bursar

pincers pip the apples

mammals in the murmur


mammals in the murmur

natterjacks & natter

turtles tooting scooters

surplus in the adders


surplus in the adders

xanadu & looters

higher pi the vocals

kippers in the suitors


kippers in the suitors

rosaries & oval

lemon teas the curdles

twinkles in the tonal


twinkles in the tonal

stutter, slur & hurdles

gurgles in the gerbils

circles in the burbles

’tis curly spring

~

’tis curly spring  (  a  p o e t r y  )




'tis curly spring - the crocus crows

& quivers speak the sea

it's pearly birds - too spoon the rose

as scissors squeak the bee


'tis songy sing - a walrus dawns

& warbles in the whist

it's donkey wings on peasant morns

as morsels door & twist


'tis eggy legs - the chaffinch church

& swan the blossom buds

it's messy heads - the serpent purrs

as otters spur the mud


'tis pearly maze - the raisin fries

& thunder wheels the scars

it's swirly days - drey eye to i

& slummer steams so star

...





































































































































































sleep’s feet

~

sleep’s feet  (  a  s h r e w  t a i l  )




i whipped the lea of bend's the lane

as silver spits the spoon

that bulls the wool & wolves the brain

& spins the inner-loom


i chime the tor of chips of moor

as yonder fox the hare

above the hood of bile's the boar

& straw the squinter air


i snake the veil of quiver mist

as shepherds shake the trees

until the gull- a dove - it shits

& snail the lemon seas


i scrap the scrawl of discant sands

as phantoms light the knight

& swan in song of mirror-lands

as badgers fry the kite


i crow a pear of apple wings

& fluster up to mars

as candles spring of waxen things

as shingle toes the stars


& squall within my hammered head

as puddles sheep the stream

a shuffle in a crackered bed

a cabbage in

a dream

...
