"Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm?"

There are rumours
about me, some 
come seeking me
with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart 
shaped planchettes

unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking 
underfoot white noise
boxes that ghosts 
are meant to genuinely
speak through

"Burning Bushes Treacherous Cargo"

They say hell 
is on fire 

but there in 
The Lawrence Forest 
exist many, 
burning bushes 
waiting on deliverance
delivering messages,
hidden shadow angels
waiting for their
Bardo exodus

they are 
allowed to 
come and go 
but they are 
drawn back 
to their torched
habitats 
like moths
to flames

their...

Well, well, well!
The whole world knows by now, impossible dreams can come true,
In the game of professional soccer, it has just been proven at Leicester,
Starting the season with a laughable 5,000 to 1 odds of winning the Championship,
Leicester has the last laugh now, they have...

"The Opponent" 

Something familiar
breezes across
the smile 

you balk 
at the familiarity
for a very short while

the opponent 
opens your windows
stealth like on pause

softly 
sensuously
like a cat

for a split 
second
violation recognised

and blithely 
dismissed as 
ridiculousness

yet like an 
unwelcome intruder
slides the door open

en garde 
lethal 
messages

despatched
and plundered
sliced, and...

Terrence the Turkey was feeling quite perky
Passing time in his rafter and doing no harm
No fighting nor squabbling, just gabbling and gobbling
Turkey talking turkey down on the farm.

Whilst having a natter, tame turkey type chatter
Before his two eyes his mate Thomas got nabbed
His shocked first...

When Cupid fired an arrow in the air,
Where it might land?  He did not care!
His only intent?  To lighten his quiver,
When he shot his barbed Love dart thither!
So came the time, or so twas said,
That another odd couple, came to wed.

On their great...

Bevy of swans in a sea-fowl cloud,
starling mumuration,whispering aloud.
Wray of quail,where teal spring,
tiding of magpie,as larks nesting, cling.

Nightingale watch a hover of crows,
herd of wrens,hosting sparrows.
Flight of doves,lapwing deceit,
charm of finches,swallows sweet.

Kindle of kittens,knot of toads,
a yoke of oxen shed their load.
Den of snakes,skulk with...

and so it begins

can we ever feel pain over pain? a lust for the grave? we shall see

it has become an obsession of late that the suffering of angels that cannot 
escape
the tourture of mortals and slayers of debt
come as visions throughout the day to...

Melania spotted a louse
And caught a cab home sans her spouse
When Barron asked, "Why?"
She said with a sigh,
"Your father is in the dog house!"

Well, Ivanka soon learned the score
And despatched a nurse to the door
Nurse said, "There's a nut
Who barks like a mutt;
And groped me...

latent privacy
emerges into the limelight,
into the unfamiliar:
emptiness
exhaled
anguish abolished
destroyed:
insignificance
dismantled
despatched
to the extremities
of life...

This oath I breathe into the night, 
Where spectral voices wage and fight 
For space to salvage, immunise 
And subjugate before my eyes. 
A song despatched with vocal chords, 
Dipped in sorrow, ill affords 
To waste a single key of sound, 
To find the words...

The king was recruiting, He needed brave knights,
To protect all his wealth and his land,
And seek if he could, someone who would succeed,
And was worthy of his daughter’s hand.
A leader, a nobleman, brave to the last,
Who was always the first volunteer,
His armour had blood on...
