Stuff I done wrote

Teef
Show me how it’s done
Totting up
Composition by Brian Bilston
Private land
Bloody hell
Having a suddenly urgent, and surprisingly vocal, wee in a public toilet
The people who stare at stars
8:00 AM
Bullet point personality
Force
Sarah
Company by Tim Key
Sunday roast
There’s a cup of tea sitting on my desk teasing me with energy and warmth
Missing the point
There you are again
Good morning
There you go
Fight
Deep Blue Sea by Louis Jenkins
Sunday
Ending
Hello, little chin
Aliens by Tim Key
Where am I?
Trying new things
Detective duos I could be a part of
What is it for you?
Boring
Things a baby who has been fed and changed and had a good nap might still be crying about but we’ll never really know
I bet
Staring at a painting I’ve never really looked at before
Just a game
Punny
If I was an animal
Christmas Poetry by John Hegley
Moon poem
Summer Stage
To be honest
Smile
My hand
A bus shelter being replaced
Untitled by James Mark Miller
Longer and longer
The ingredient I most relate to in salt and vinegar Pringles
Sad?
Who knows
Arms
Bamp by Jonathan Edwards
I am a retired lumberjack
Each one
Watching
A Christmas tree in an open top sports car
A tree surgeon arrived unannounced
The rain is dripping
Always the same answer
I saw a few leaves earlier
Wild
The last time I saw a man going to work on a train
Nipping out on a Saturday to buy a 4-way extension lead, a Magic Mop refill, an expanding dish rack (with utensil pot) and a stiff-bristled scrubbing brush
At the end of the day
I knew
A man remembering a boy thinking about another boy
Catch by Matt Harvey
Delicious
Delia Smith yelling ‘let’s be having you’ on the pitch at half time to Norwich City football fans
A poem for Matthew McConaughey
And you’ll miss it
Elvis Presley in a chip shop
Vigour
I will eventually be everything awake
He
Teenage Son by Jonathan Edwards
In
What Does A Baby Think It Is? by Carl Burkitt
What I’m thinking
Too many legs
Fog
The morning after
Homemade
Don’t ask me why
Lazy fingers
Fate by Dan Rhodes
The things we get
Opening lines of poems I’ll never finish
Normal
Voyeur
Zookeeper
Stuff just always happens
Rubbish
The Orange by Wendy Cope
Coin toss
A mess behind the door
Desperate teeth
Plotting
Visions
Laughing by Dan Rhodes
Year after year
And sigh
Kit man
Horses may bite or kick
My heart wants to say windows
Cameo
Countryside sheep are fluffy footballs
I was gone
Ace
I’m my PJs
Size doesn’t matter
Upstairs
Reading poems to you while you’re nodding off on my chest
How can I help?
No more than five school children allowed in this Post Office at a time
No idea
Yoga For Cows by Liam McCormick
Best friends
Preference
Arms
Enjoy!
A seat in a cinema
Brighton on a Tuesday
One little hair
I Decided To Stop Therapy by Joe Dunthorne
Today I went for a walk
Flowers on good days
I just decided to take it easy
Ancient trust
We’d like to ask a few questions about your experience
Out of stock
The worst day of all time
Trick
Things strangers might say about me when I am the subject of people watching
Who would play you in the movie of your life?
A couple of hours ago
Head
Packing
Every word
If I could write lyrics like Ray Davies in the second verse of Autumn Almanac
Hard shoulders
A couple of weeks ago
Ride
It hasn’t really
All I could think about
Don’t waste it
Penned in
Desperate
The worst
Lemonade and gravy
A face that isn’t mine
Two friends and a dog called Pigs
