Around the Corner (Under your Nose)

Big brown little brown
Hopping on the green:
plumbum
Sunday service ist presumed
Big grey slug tar
pauline
Awesome gabardene blanket
Portentous sou’westerly
Sombre anticipation

spooky anticipation
rain is on they way

What a bloody drag – no HO
TD,
have a bizzy-fizzy,
take the decals off it
Schlocky morrow picture show

All the skies
gone grey
Hear out me no hip-hip
hooray
Everyone’s gone to the church

Apart from us
The damned contra
ry ones
Striking out for vain
In glory
Slouching as
to door

On the Shieling Lawn

End of Palm Mystery
Case closed post infinitum
Time for me hols
~
Refuel the battered keys
‘BFN—TTFN’: o F f
Formalities observed:
~
Put out blazing cat
Left in empty milk bottles
Turned up thermostat
~
Opened all windows and doors
Counter-counter espionage
Drones disguised as flies
~
Circumnavigate
Naff squiggly lampshade
Armed up to the teeth
~
And don’t forget
leave a smoking cadaver
on the shieling lawn

Get cracking on now

Royal Navy Robe
without a belt (or hat):
flapping & dangling
around my chaps
like tippets or
Tom Baker’s scarf
In Doctor Who used to

(the gown not the belt)

looking quite dishevelled, I suppose
two way mirror crack’d

don’t dare to look
if I were in your shoes—
think with a long head

might it not put you off your
elevenses and/or twelves’.’

They cut off my bard
Victim of facial abuse
Overcame survivor guilt
Takes just one drop—
Eine Augenblickchen

The question popped up
castdown eyes analysed
meditated anthracite
its pros and cons smother out
elephantine silences
‘Each one counts’
‘yes, of course it does, each
And every one counts’

Gurgles

Vive la resistance
No can do mentality
Obstacular bluff

Trumbo

Taken so long to
get here seems we forgot the
purpose of it too
easily distracted by words
crying out for attention

Poem of the Week
title: Go Get a Real Job!
spinning paper plates
who said you’re a long time dead
didn’t know the half of it

Chair Conditioning

 

Kitchen joy beheld
Chocolate almond croissant
Warmed up under grill
Rinsed a greasy baking tray
Rescued a sausage courgette
Flavius Importunas
and witchcraft sandwich
Boethius Consolation
of Philosophy fairly
lit up the Dark Ages
the Harry Potter
of those Gothic Days

The Joy of Sax

Phew!

So much to do

and

no point in any of it;

just plain old survival;

avoidance of mishaps,

relief from pain relief.

No simple sample pleasure.

*

Eleven it says:

Morning constitutional

To the shed and back

Phantom bouquet

bonfire smoke whispering

Secret trysts at noon

Thrilled to bits I don

A cloak & gagger…

*

Phone calls to invite me to luncheon;

of course,

I accept with  puerile alacrity.

What ensues is vintage time warp!

Clear the decks for a couple of hours;

put pressing needs on hold;

suspend more disbelief.

*

Hot colouring book trend offer:

one legged dormouse to play Plato;

Dizzy the Womble pours scorn…

Exasperated! Go touch your heels

Take odd drugs on a building site

Discover unknown places

Canoes & kayaks hurry past

buffeted by cataracts

in search of sweet asylum

way beyond a joke

a trope

a paradigm

nature’s cracking up

so it would appear

is everything else

Scary Old Sketchbook

Pallid wan shrouded

Lucid nacreous calico

Cauled mirrored fetch

Spectral living ghosts emerge

Perusing your back pages
