sink’s the ditty  (  s o m e  r h y m e z  )

…





chuck's the churn & muck's the jitty

hum's worm & squirm's the chilli

ring's the sing & grain's the gravy

spurred's the urn & stuck's the sticky


dog's the doze & goat's the billy

cog's the wheel & eel's the slippy

groat's the boat & dozed's the daisy

tick's the list & stick's the city


knell's the bell & spell's the dizzy

ink's the blink & peck's the biddy

speck's the neck & hazed's the hazy

spoke's the oak & pond's the lily


cat's the flap & scrap's the kitty

skip's the mist & mid's the piggy

tune's the spoon & rune's the wavy

&'s the sand & sink's the ditty

citrus thyme

citrus thyme  (  p o e m z  o f  d o o m z  )

…






the goose is rat, the shops are sand

with ghosts & notes so noose the band

the children splay & sing in swine

for samba's claws & tinsel spine


the church is lurch, the squirm is canned

with dame again so germ's the land

the hare is snared & poached in pine

for cycle spokes & bible brine


the crash is king, the pubs are gland

with floss & toss so sat's the stand

the spider's hulled as is the twine

for shingle bells & citrus thyme

a quilt of onions

a quilt of onions  (  a  t r u e  s t o r y  )

…




a quilt of onions skinned the sky

that whiffed the breeze & fluffed the fly

that greened the queen & cuffed the sty

that whipped the twig & piled the pi


a flock of thimbles flossed the town

that clocked the frock & tossed the gown

that maimed the dame & dossed the crown

that pegged the head & legged the drown


a purse of adders purred the pea

that preened the dean & fogged the bee

that winds the minds & flogs the tree

that spills the quills that dog the scree


a thatch of brambles bapped the bun

that spanked the wind & panned the nun

that stung the stalk & tongued the nun

that yawned the war & snort the nun


a fence of foxgloves fudged the air

that nudged the witch which smudged the snare

that snowed the crow & poached the fayre

that coughed the broth & fucked the mayor


a star of parsnips stirred the bend

that sparred the guard & slurped the wend

that spat the ant & burped the blend

that danced the plants & shat the end

your guffaw

your guffaw  (  a  t r u e  t a l e  )

…





as plumbers pole & war the saw

& drummers roll & cole the slaw

as silver moons & prunes the snare

& woodland blares & bears the paw


as feathers flap & hat the straw

& zephyrs zap & splash the spore

as spindles spin & loom the hare

& beavers bee & buzz the saw


as jumbles jab & spar the door

& jungles jar & crab the claw

as whispers wolf & woo the where

& patters pane & rain the pour


as islands spy & sea the shore

& highlands dry & see the saw

as squinter squats & spins the fare

i weasel not for your guffaw

most daunted

most daunted  (  a  p o e m  )

…





badgers roll the barrel

supper sups the firkin

bubbles bib the babbles

scuppered scuffs & bargains


adders asp the addles

jungles jerk the gherkin

jibber jabs the jackals

thoughts of swords & marlins


judges smash the gavels

gawpers hawk the merlin

dowsers cow the cattle

spur the herd & charge in


spindles span the travels

steeples street the urchin

wiggles wine the waggles

weasels pine & martens


seamsters scheme the straddles

circles swerve the curve in

shakers snake the rattles

apple bobs & parkin


shuffles shim the shackles

saucers sauce the stir-in

riddles rig the raffles

marbles map & martians


hobbles hop the haggles

spinsters spank the jerkin

gibbons grape the grapples

may the pole & barge in


scribbles soap the saddles

quivers vim the vermin

phantoms fan the battles

ghosts within the margin

...

 

twinkle toast

twinkle toast  (  a  p o e m  )

…




parlours ping & pig the poke

patters pane & spar the pour

opera sings & smocks the yolks

gargling as marbles spore


kettles course & steam the smoke

pandas ant & dance the floor

hobbles horse & steed the mokes

curdling as curtains caw


feathers fleck & frog the croak

chatters stork & walk the four

camels cat & dog the strokes

livening as lions roar


circles trir & wok the woke

trawlers peak & beach the shore

leopards spot & watch the cloaks

scattering as portals thaw
