within the fields  ( sdleif eht nihtiw )

…

within the fields the weasels sing

of phantoms in the mists of spring

the grasses gleam as teasel glow

& little orbs are snorkelling


a sort of sea upon the vale

as snails awake & chase the tail

of winter's ghost & rivers flow

& puffs of seeds in clusters scale


the mutant blue & blooming sky

to flutter like a butterfly

beneath an oak as gardens grow

we sit & hark, the dog & i


the breathless hum of bumblebees

the mumbles on a jumbled breeze

then wander home but slowly so

within the fields, upon the leas

...

blank white sheet shite  ( a seasonal scribble )

…

the first of the month

a crackle of popcorn

a blossom of cotton

& rabbits are wed


the chalk of the town

a clatter of chatter

as seagulls are shitting

on chefs in their nests


of dusted meringue

& cheese à la cottage

as swans sing of linen

& doves string along


with men in their coats

& albino phantoms

as mistletoe tingles

& sheep fly the flag


a knight in a van

a tower of flour

a shuffle of knuckles

the milk of the eye


& elephants lie

as sliced is the rice bread

i scribble this piffle

alone in the snow

...

gabbling nuts  ( my other poem is a manuka honey badger )

…

mist upon the fog

sodden is the trodden path

as the badgers sing


songs within the bonce

ponce upon a scorpion

tales within the sting


as the woodland brown

weasels scheme & leaves piss down

kiss a signets ring


loop the whooper's hoop

swans upon a monkey isle

gibbons in the swing


droving over stiles

stubble grows as beards appear

so the limpets cling


pipers, pies & piles

whales & bales in barns of yarns

bailing twine as string


fuddles in the dales

in the midst of second spring

winter in the wings


let the games begin

gabbling nuts & dust - til may

babble, that's the thing

alphabet antennae  (  a  p o e t r y  )

…

alphabet antennae

blasting badger babylon

christmas crystal crows

diabetic dogs


even easter's eggheads

farting farthing funerals

galloping goshawks

horus's horsefly


iodine is inkling

j'accuse jim's jacuzzi jam

kipper kilowatts

lemon leper lords


musical, my mudflaps

nibiru's new noodle nest

otter obelisks

pyrotechnic plums


quoting quagga quince queens

ruffle rubber river run

seven silver swans

tonsil tonguing toads


unicorn urinals

vintage viking valium

weasels waxing wings

xanadu's xenon


yodel yeti yeoman

zither zephyr zulu zeus

( zzzzzzz )

in the prussian embassy  (  b a s e d  o n  a  t r u e  d a y d r e a m  )

…

fred is spinning on the decks

fritz's hits as marbles march

in this sort of tardis lark

yonder hops a hare


ninjas, drinks & nibbles stuff

twiglets, frisps & monster munch

junkers drunk & thunder-skunk

lizards lick a pear


bumbles in the jungle's jig

robins robbing robin hood

noah's ghost & sun tzu too

thunder frilled the air


dances on the desert sands

roses in the blizzard's snow

gleamings in the forest's green

squirrels shit a bear


flies from east silesia

anne of cleeves & damocles

elephants - electric eels

shocking old voltaire


in the prussian embassy

hobnobbing ambassadors

peasants, punks & hobgoblins

- everyone was there
