sun snorts the snorkel

sun snorts the snorkel  (  s o m e  r h y m e s  )




mist whips the vicar & tryst jams the jangles

rip quips the river & flip flops the flow

egg kegs the kestrel & leg spans the dangles

wing sings the wizard & boat shows the row


land licks the sailor & mop moths the candles

handstands the baker & feet knead the dough

bread bins the tinker & flap cracks the scrambles

tank tops the bottle & grass greens the mow


spleen spins the weaver & clean sweeps the vandal

sea saws the beaver & pin pricks the sew

on swans the plodder & song whales the rambles

ale froths the fodder & drip drops the toe


brick shits the builder & tear snares the brambles

quick sands the gilder & cage caves the crow

pen inks the portal & sword swish the sandals

sun snorts the snorkel & spun spores the glow

four swans

four swans  (  a  p o e m  )




once a swan a blizzard sheet

gibbons sing in lizard speak

lepers leap the lemonade

masquerades & parakeets


twice a swan a trickled nib

tickles stick in rippled ribs

coddles egg the escapade

colonnades & fizzle squibs


thrice a swan a gargled flow

bumblebees in bungalows

marble muds the marmalade

puddle lakes & bubbles blow


fourth a swan a curdled rhyme

burbles herb in breakfast thyme

leopards spot the serenade

pepper shakes & pantomime

...





























































catkin nap

catkin nap  (  l i n e s  f o r  t h e  p i c t u r e  )





crystal lips & squinter daze

weevils weave the drunken sun

rivers twist & weasels maze

winter whips the sprinkle bun


finger tips & potter trots

feathers fleck the otter sky

flicker scripts & polka dots

lemons lick the lullaby


puddles splosh & bristles stream

rubble robes the roman road

summer's swans & colour schemes

murmur stirs the woken toad


portal spawns & phantom scrawls

woodland thaws the warble flap

mistle sings & rubber balls

twinkle tows the catkin nap

...

































































































to do

~

to do  (  a  p o e t r y  )




crack the nut & bolt the quarrel

bow the flow & roll the cobbles

spurt the dirt & soap the saddle

plot the land & plod the novel


hedge the bet & sea the coral

brick the spit & green the bottle

drink the wine & pine the apple

tree the scree & leave the laurel


flap the crow & stone the fossil

flip the blur & whirr the wobble

swish the fish & wag the waggle

herb the words & sniff the sorrel


pen the hen & squab the squabble

pan the cake & then the waffle

milk the maid & pip the apple

tick the list & piss the twaddle
