Stoat Poems

The little Elf
All by himself
Was dancing in the wood
He was gloriously happy
As Elfin folk should be
Surrounded by nature
In all its majesty
As the little Elf was dancing
He began to sing
He sang very softly
As there wasn't much of him
Even though the volume
Wasn't...Read More

Flora bought a new fur coat
It was made from stoat
She craved for a mink
And was wise enough to think
That possibility remote...Read More

Lawn furniture flavored ice cream
	served in moxa cups
Candied eyes of freshwater bream
	pickled bushdog pups.

Pig pizzle wrapped around a stick
	grilled upon the deck
Woven rope with cat head and brick
	hung about your neck.

Marzipan violin bowed by a stoat
	badminton played widdershins
A toast of...Read More

last Autumn colours -
lost in winter snow.

twin vapour trails
on sky November blue,
Canada geese in formation-
head south.

November sombre,December dark,
January,February cold and stark
Rain filled days of slush and muck,
webs on shards of gossamer shade
'til snowdrops matamorphise in the glade.

On the lawn strewn...Read More

The underlulating flight of a caterpillar in mismatched socks could well be confused for a cyber created calorie called counter. Counters are calamities and calamities are neither calm nor chaotic. The robotic maneuverings' of a saw can be said to...Read More

The grey mists of a sleeping dawn, cosetting birds still
wrapped up warm in bed, watch a stoat emerge from
its burrow and sprint across his meadow, like a caterpillar
making humped back bridges in Concertina motion

The stoat approaches the discarded shape and...Read More

The night in July was quietly chanting,
Its own lullaby, as if it was granting,
A sleep without trouble to people of Trees.

And all of a sudden a cry broke the peace,
From one of the houses, a cry like of geese,
‘Twas voice...Read More

Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
And sadly...i start to drive.
Through the unremarkable village with its tall 
Georgian Bay window panes, lightless,
devoid of visages; outwardly staring back at my 
Abject countenance with detached contempt and utter disdains.
Stars fall under failing...Read More

before the beginning,
aches burnt slow fuses 
in blood shrapnel'd fog, 
salted feet tread spattered rain, 
as men held spent while veiled mothers wept; 

growth rings sat lonely on soot tarnished walls, 
regrets wrung young necks snatched in flight down dank...Read More

NATURE’S CHAIN

a thick mist blankets the winter dawn---

Enter!   Step across the threshold
unto a haunted house.
There’s tricky, tricky vermin here, 
ssshhh !    Tread carefully like a mouse.

Heathens  satyrs ,
bragging lazy waiters,
filthy filthy rats, large red cats.
A bully or two drunk through and...Read More

soundless in soft snow

    stoat displays black tip of tail...

          all else- white on white

>I once had an onion
And he was very bad
Kept kicking all the apples
Made them very mad
He once stole a monkey
Then sold it to a stoat
He borrowed someone's hamster
And threw it in a moat
Climbing up a ladder
One day in sunny June
He...Read More

Hand in hand they meander through  the deserted lane, 
freshly fallen snow crumpling under foot 
Littering the sky, Bright stars,  glittering like coins on a belly dancers belt,
slowly surrender to the coming dawn


Inch by measured inch the glory...Read More

winter
arrives late
in the forest-
a stoat melts into the
snowdrift
