Kerri Shying R # 343 - paddlepop and melting

paddlepop and melting

fooze ball  on the roadside beckon

rubber hand-grips               hold me sweet

on all the murmured streets

of children            sighing shiver

seek    love’s swirled cornetto   down

by history    look the seashells

here Mum   see   my           

somersaults     cartwheels

rolling snake eyes  that’s a double

roll again   you never get

a chance like that     and

life is longer than the ribbons

on Dad’s Morris dancing hat

there are no more   spectacles

events have overtaken

everything like them
