Onamatapiec doesn’t cover it all
Thalweg is riverine, twisty and wet
Perpendicular sounds as sharp as it should

Words are blunt instruments
Poetry sharpens them
Tries to bring them to a point
To break the silence

I am scrabbling for a word
To describe the noise of chickens
Scrabbling in the garden
It isn’t rustling
The leaves above are doing that
Rustle is a high pitched word
I need a lower pitich
Mustle, grustle
Tustle is what one hen is doing with a worm
Now there’s a sudden outbreak of snail football
The snail always loses
It’s life
On this sunny late October afternoon
Maybe its scrabbling after all
