home

from the battlefront

he hides from a wasp

begowkin the gairdner

binwood tooters

outwitting the gardener

bindweed trumpets

a pish-the-bed seed

daunces by  -

a buttery jynes the jig

a dandelion seed

dances past  -

a butterfly joins the jig

new monastery  -

the janglin

o hemmers an clourers

new monastery  -

the ringing

of hammers and chisels

ootside shunkie  -

he croons

a warnishin  sang 

outside toilet  -

he sings

a warning song

on the gairden knock

a buttery ristin  -

peerie gnomon

on the garden clock

a butterfly resting  -

little gnomon

the autistic laddie

on's scooter

racin's sheddae

the autistic boy

on his scooter

racing his shadow

doverin on a bink  -

the sin pous a sheddae 

ower'm

asleep on a bench  -

the sun pulls a shadow

over him
