the harrying of the norm  ( morn eht fo gniyrrah eht )

…

 

panic is a planet

piffle on the snooze

weasels feed the gannet

lizards twisting screws

      pantomime & trifle

      tripe is in the air

      flight is like a spiral

      inner spins the hare

salad in a sandwich

pickles cruise control

clatter traps the cabbage

muzzles mute the soul

      fodder for the fecal

      scrawl a waterfall

      flea the sheeple people

      nature shakes us all

irk the serpent’s slither

& the adder’s dance

knickers in the river

ants in underpants

      scratch beyond the sniffle

      fill another ditch

      whistle in the drizzle

      ink another itch

…

twisting tales ( selat gnitsiwt )

…

the dream was not a dream

until the dreamer dreamt

of bends within beginnings

& stings in twisting tales

a spanner in the quirks

a hornet in an apiary

the beige beyond the rage

& so the serpents sing

of scorpions at war

the milkman is a hobgoblin

the sea is up above

& ground is underground

the wolf is but a sheep

& shepherd boys are androids

the sun was once the moon

the stars are distant candles

the secret is the garden

the butler was a patsy

who couldn’t kill a fly

a monkey wrote the bible

your uncle is a goat

your godmother’s an antelope

the whirled is spun with mirrors

& this is not a poem

( gotcha )

nac eht ni  (  in the can  )

…

scraping scapes of dawns

deep upon the speak of sleep

as aurora yawns


so a cockerel crows

draining brains in bursts of bird

as the blither flows


while a spider spins

silken webs within the head

stringing hymns in tins


wriggle scribbled squirms

prancing pants of pastoral

ants & earthen worms


as a phantom hare

in the twists of mizzled mist

spins this sylphid air


scattered scraps of dreams

passengers on paper planes

baked but magic beans

...

asparagus season  (  nosaes sugarapsa  )

…

grass of the sparrow

cupid of arrows


wingless of spring

flight of the rhizomes


fibrous a friend

platefuls of april


bird of the leas

octavian's favourite


flap in the pan

woods in the stemming


star of a starter

vegetable gem


darts to the heart

cream of the souper


supper for lovers

& the green in me pee

...

catflap  (  palftac  )

…

cobwebs, webbed foot, star map, startled starlings

plugholes, old gold, seashore, silver darlings

seesaw, sore eyes, inkling, information

meltdown, brown cow, cloudburst, literation

catflap, deep blue, bee's knees, betty swollocks

screw job, lockjaw, back door, nutter bollocks

penfriend, payday, hi-fi, feather dusters

kumquat, mayfly, piss-pot, motherfuckers

...

clutching at stgrawberries  (  seirrebwarts ta gnihctulc  )

…

sun-spun sputnik

shoehorn shuffles


sell sword walruses

celery penfriends


sea green lizards

linseed limericks


deep blue buglers

badger afternoons


sinking in kitchenettes

pebbles in a pocketwatch


rising like mercury

falling with water


clutching at strawberries

sticky jam fingers


seraphin & celery

catnaps on doggerland

...

gnissim llits  (  still missing  )

badgers on benders

weasels in haystacks

rivers in the river mist

dracula's reflection

little bo-peep's keys

blizzards on the sun

the simian link

king arthur's marbles

pandora's boxcar

an ear wig made from earwigs

diamonds in dung heaps

poltergeist mime troupes

grandma's dentures

the foxhall jaw

lord lucan's poodle

number four's cat

& yew, my deer

( author notes )

this is a reworking of two older posts

& i should have put kate & gerry mcann's arrest

warrant in this list - too

~

& of course, the truth about the sniffles-scare

...

lockdowns don't work & will kill far,far more


but that was part of the plan all along

~

don't let the weasels win

ignore the media

( which includes all the bullshit on wordpress )

& fuck the worldwide police state
