Douglas Scotney Poems

Scraping off froth
that has thickened
until enough is enough
for enough to need to do it
...

When you take them apart
you see a tree in a star
and vice versa
and you no longer fear
...

I isn't brief enough.

To replace what's declining is becoming too dear;
...

I went and invented The Store,
where I could get everything but freedom
with as little trouble as I'd had before
by stuffing it into small,
...

I made a complaint
to a ticketing company
about what I thought
was an overcharging rort.
...

You can put un in front of flappability
but you still got flappability.

You can put un in front of it
...

Self,
with the support of some narrow selves on his site,
propounded the import
of impressing with your first
...

default II

‘default' is
a pre-ordained setting
...

Two perquisites of poetry

are wishful thinking
...

Exhaustion doesn't stop you
wanting to be an artist,
but stops you when you are.
...
