Douglas Scotney Poems

When you expose the belly, soft,
of a bully, incidental,
for a cause, just,
you become a bit of a bully too.
...

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,
...

As a Rule
Birds called In
On Branches with Different
Are Cool.
...

There's one going on
now the sellers have dropped the crude
and made us think it's cheap,
and let us slow down the search
...

You're kicking a dead horse
taking on a Relativity denier,
and you might be butting Putin
when you tell a Russian, 'white is white';
...

Regarding fenced and unfenced and fornenst,
it's rubbish!
that they're all that rhyme with against.
...

'Bloody God!
He's gone and done it now:
He's saying you get
raisins in your mirage -
...
