gloam sweet gloam  (  a  p o e m  f o r  s u n d a y  e t  a l  . . .  )

jumbles jump the mumble

jungles jinx the jingle

nutters span the attic

witches in the grindle


dashes slap the stumbles

clashes tap the cymbals

crackles whip the static

squirrels in the dingle


apples pip the crumbles

grapples swine the swindle

manic pipes the magic

bristles in the brindle


fondles feel the fumble

tonsils speak the lingual

woven weaves the fabric

spoken rungs the spindle


stomachs tum the rumble

thunder thumbs the thimble

warbles fright the rabbits

dawdles sprite the nimble


adders snake the rundle

ladders shake the twinkle

haddock hicks the habit

havoc spits the simple


draymans toast the trundle

ravens crow the wrinkles

roses sniff the plastic

noses whiff the dimples


petals fluff the fungal

pebbles rough the shingle

staggers trawl the traffic

stutters stall the dwindle

...

morning mists the ginger beer

yawning fists the brigadier

awning warns the apple carts

puddles punch the puppeteers


after moons the lunar blear

adders spoon the souvenirs

pastors pass the poisoned darts

olives oil the engineers


cackles eve the cavaliers

shackles heave the balladeers

jackals lick the lemon tarts

pandas prang the pamphleteers


hobbles night the cripple clear

wobbles bite the interfere

bobbles throb the sunken starts

bedfordshire & dissapear

...

in spotted socks & donkey frocks

as if the flim had tinned the pots

of fairy phlegm & spun the spoon

of happenstance the black baboon


in clotted dross & zombie socks

as if the shrew had spewed the flocks

of curdled birds & tossed the tune

of speckled vests on vast bassoons


in knotted whats & wonky toss

as if the hymn had rid the pox

of hairy mayors & plucked the prune

of pan the flan in pantaloons


in jotted blots & on we trots

as if the fox had spat the crops

of mutant june & yet the moon

has slapped & sapped the afternoon

...

backing bounce ( a rhyme for saint gubbin’s day )

sink a song of submarines

headless fish & guillotines

raspy gasps of gasoline

tumbleweed & runner beans


gob a gloss of magazines

thinning ice & figurines

donkey nights of carotene

philistines & nazarenes


flick a fleet of limousines

weasel cheese & tambourines

stretchy friends of plasticine

twisty tongues of tangerines


clash a smash of smithereens

chickenpox & slot machines

frothy troth's in evergreens

dictionaries & trampolines

...
