More free coffee

Monsieur Grimbeau?

You are only too kind!

No, I am not

Good! Good! Good!

Just a faceful, then…

A much underlooked

Fatuous wordsmith exits sloped

Mutters muttered on

Hey! Mona Lisa

You!

Yea yooo…

over here…

Now fuzz face

Stop giggling liquid wishes

Feel the spotlight

touch you brushes!

Shrink, in spotlight shrink

that’s better at last

Cower, shrivel, snivel

paint my smile, bitch

Scrumdown

Ned occurs sporting

fish gourds.

Slinging hush,

wordbads too uggo

to stink out odious air,

being made

as I am of late

made over

anew of dun nomadic clingfilm,

with years odd spent

purging defiant  biscuit wrappers,

one finds oneselves bleating

like a severed limb.

Lampadadampasanda.!

So the howl goes up.

Declination brooks invitation?

I scamper for the cringes.

Noises of adjustments echo…

A declaration will follow at

some given point heretoforwards

 

 

 

Demob Daymare

After the huge build up

(Some ten hours in all)

I ventured outside

Through the back door

Down the freshly brushed ramp

Gravitating with gravy

Pot of cider (and gauche black straw)

In one twisted paw

And a roll-up burning

In the spare one left

*

The hopes of relaxation

 cheered by summer breeze

Seemed attainable.

Perhaps a propitious pick!

For once

*

Neighbours play with smaller neighbours

A three-legged werewolf lumbers nimbly

The roll-up is still going strong

Flimsy on the robust air

Which carries martial voices

‘Yes, James that’s the right way

Good man, fine fellow’

After all it is some years now

Since the voice pronounce approval

It was high time to do the rounds

*

Me? The clouds came over

So I came back in

To try and remember what happened

So,

it crosses my mind,

do they

Green Man Blues

Bad dreams of loss woke me at five-thirty

alone at the end of the path in the forest.

It is a loud, bright, busy morning.

A fresh black sky is barely visible

above the lowering, voracious honeysuckle,

the rutted track vanishes in turgid blue grass

and crass knotted gargoyle root overwhelms the rest.

I can neither go back nor forward.

I have no machete, no will, no sense.

A dog appears, wags politely, squeezes out through the forest gate.

I dry cry, picturing my contorted face

And bowed in shame  pour coffee from the grenade.

Soon I will climb up the hawser to the treehouse

and bathe my tongue in the putrid raging waterfall.

There are always rough towels to hand
