 PROMPTS


You left and the air was different
It is such an effort to be continually new
Keats, Surgeon Extraordinaire

A 25-Year Sulk
Here is one I stole earlier
If we had to talk to spouses by telephone

Two Tigers in Waitrose
Could you walk on my sunny side?
Grendel was a pussy

A fat pasty from a greasy-spoon
The queen is doing cartwheels down the Mall
Bring your trunks and we’ll make a day of it

A mountain of coffee-grounds
Dirty men eating fingerprinted sandwiches
Fart From the Maddening Crowd

I’m worried about becoming anxious
A periodicity of chimes
Laughing With, Laughing At

The moment the milk goes off
Electrolyte replacement plus water
Violets, Rhinos, Flamingos

Pretending to like Seamus Heaney
Miscounting Calories
Twenty Different Cocktails

Lavender, Chocolate, Cyanide
Black Toe!
Outside the Boston Aquarium

 PROMPTS


Yes, I have certain hopes
Hamburger Grillers in the Mist
We will shortly connect you to one of our advisors

Singing in Wookey Hole
The Many Rivers Underground
Interviews with Angels

Melons, Lemons, Bananas
Higher up the Mountain, greener grows the grass
The Ode Less Traveled

Nurse! Nurse!
The doctor should be here by Friday
A single photon of light

The Ferry Queen
How Women Get Minks
Like a glow-worm at midnight in a coal-shed

£20 to spend in M&S
Satan’s nephew
Afternoon Tea at the Ritz with Michelle

Old men playing cribbage
Dance of cadavers
My gloves, my mask, my bobble-hat

A Poem about potatoes
What wooden fences think of trees
Old, fading, he died quietly by the stove

The stables at midnight
The Deaths of many poets
The Problem with Albert’s Nose

 PROMPTS


Between then and a good time later
The Moose
Let us talk about the things we thought we wanted

I like the even un-even beat
Old Brown Things
The view from her apartment, Copacabana

She keeps a dead bird in her purse
The speed of the incoming tired
This is how the days were lost

Saving the cow
They have lined The Mall with barbed-wire
Playing dominoes in the Snug

Before I went to stay with my aunt
I have learnt many unimportant things
A black shoe, hammering on a table

The police arrived and we all went blind
Manuel, the blind knife-thrower
I cannot say my name

The dark smell of old fat buses
When stones rise from the sea
Bulldog on a trampoline

The Prince in his immaculate LandRover
You have dismantled me
Why the committee carried my mother’s coffin

The village is drowning
Another mug of tea
King Liar in a world of lies
