loopholes in me shoe soles  (  a  p o e m  )

…






princes swim with tadpoles

pandas stamp on flagpoles

pigeons peck the odd socks

pillocks in the potholes


badgers din the bell tolls

bakers spin the bread rolls

makers meet their matchbox

briskly then the heads roll


wishes in the fish shoals

chicken cheese & flipped poles

panic pangs the padlocks

rusty pens the keyholes


monkeys mop the mole holes

otters sing in old scrolls

shepherds boo the blue fox

weasels weave in corn dolls


tossers tree the green knolls

pincers pinch in pinholes

whispers on the breeze blocks

smeary marks the charcoal


gubbins spoons the own goals

romans road the plod-strolls

dripping drops of what-not's

loopholes in me shoe soles

bee a buzz

bee a buzz  ( another poem for sunday etc. )

…




bee a buzz & beat a drum

waft a wasp & whale a song

like a pike get on your bike

mime in hum & on we swan


scale the snake then lime the scum

snail a trail & fox the den

mouse your holes & post your goals

moon the sun then cluck the hen


mam in tor then glib the glum

clean in sweeps to wake to the boar

gap that mind then round the wind

stone all plums & snort the spores


clap a hand & thunder thumbs

spew in shrew - you feel a tit

hide those crows right up your nose

spin in spun - crack on with it

...

 

scrawling’s calling

~

scrawling’s calling  ( a  rhetorical question in disguise ( as a banana skin ) )

…



wake the dog up, ring a friend

tell a stranger - inform them

tell the ladies then the men

tell the buzzards, tell the wren


tell the farmer in his den

tell his sheep, his cows & hens

tell your barbie - tell your ken

tell the dinar, lek & yen


tell little john, tell big ben

find a mirror - tell yuh sen

shout at khaos, psst at zen

tell green bottles - yeah, all ten


tell the big-eared folk of fens

tell that real world & pretend

scrawling's calling in the glen

bring a notepad

& a pen

...

oxeye daisies  (  a  p o e t r y  )

…



ankle bracelets, waves of gravy

clutch at possibles & maybes

absent scarecrows in the navy

uncles from the

sixteen eighties


labyrinthine shades amaze me

patterns forming - thoughts of paisley

bales of strawer, the great euphrates

standing so like

those nine ladies


i don't want to have your rabies

flee to narnia or hades

pull the udder one - you're crazy

god bless odd &

oxeye daisies

phlegm & other reasons

phlegm & other reasons  (  a  p o e m  )

…




dandelion skirmishes

badger fucks, twirled dervishes

mrs. worthington's hit list

space then shapes - their surfaces

sermons offer services

milk, honey & circuses

snooker's at the crucible

free-balls, cues & furnaces



fork lightning, moors, mysteries

distortions - distilleries

dick turpin; the boyband years

achilles heel blistery

old wives' tales of fisheries

pillars, posts plus pillorys

tumble driers fall to earth

snail trails shine, all slippery



geese in gleams are gathering

manic tongues are babbling

bloody jape scrapes make great shapes

wrappers are unravelling

jibbered tongues are jabbering

flash dick'eads are swaggering

father was an antelope

bastard hammers hammering



home is where hope lives - it dwells

magic songs are singing spells

october's an octopus

comfy seats are sitting well

june's trapped down a wishing well

judas was a kiss 'n' tell

april is a playful ape

bluebelled woods are ringing bells
