swan a ring of signets  (  a  p o e m  )




swan a ring of signets

pen a cob of shoot

tin flutes - swimsuits

scribbles on the lute


strike a strum of piglets

pick a string of pluck

hen clucks - ten ducks

diamonds in the muck


lamb a leg of crickets

drop a hat of tap

bat flaps - cat naps

babbles of the scraps


spoon a tune of thicket

throb a gob of sing

drum snares - spun hares

where the fuck is spring

twirling whirls of seraphim

~

a year in a walk in a day  (  a  p o e m  )




squawk with the hawk on the knot blossom dawn

leg with the lamb as the hedge flotsam spawns

weave with the green on the osier morn

plot with the land as the bud licks the thorn


sup with the bee on the corncockle spoon

spread with the bed as the snapdragon bloom

fluff with the spawn on the bluebottle noon

waff with the wasp as the fox hums a tune


cob with the nut on the mist riddle reave

fog with the frog as the drop mizzle breathe

web with the wet on the dim drizzle eve

float with the ghost as the tree drips the leaves


flap with the bat on the black badger's bite

ale with the dale as the grass pastures white

twist with the turn on the snow crystal night

crow with the flow as the stove burners light
