bubbles blow & spiders crawling

puddles code as cypher's calling

nostrils snorting - cockles warming


spindles spit & rodents roaring

riddles skip as frozen's thawing

alkanets & badgers bathing

pigeons shit on yeoman yawning


brambles bud & thoughts-a-forming

egg’s the feb  (  a  p o e t r y  )



wobble's the cobbles of cob's the web

talon's the salmon & spit's the spawn

speckle's the settle as shell's the tread

enter's the tenter & dog's the dawn


warble's the chorus of thaw's the thread

muddle's the puddle & ear's the corn

puzzled's the porpoise as leg's the ebb

leopard's the shepherd & shear's the shorn


blubber's the lovers of lead's the head

stencil's the pencil & mud's the morn

riddle's the scribbles as spurt's the spread

wet underfoot

~

wet underfoot  (  a  p o e m  )



pond pokes the puddle & swan songs the land

on boats the struggle & brass blasts the band

splat peas the pasture as lake seas the lea

frog hops the fuddle & sing rings the spanned


duck backs the stature & damp clams the brain

quack squids the faster & drip squibs the rain

thirst blurs the muddle as swish fish the tree

burst cracks the puddle & rat twats the drain


brown boots the burble & drown spews the cud

earth flutes the gurgle & down lutes the thud

squelch roars the chorus as score spores the scree

belch blows the chorus & roar flows the mud


drip drops the otter & brim dims the ditch

lip quips the river & kiss whips the bridge

splodge dogs the opera as splat bogs the key

trod plops the sodden & pop plods the squidge

throb a gob of sing

where the fuck is spring
