nonsense poem of ten lines tea rain terrain
On the first Saturday
of the second month
there was three weeks rain.
Followed by four knocks on the door
five thunderous stamps on the floor
and six times the combined sound in echo.
After seven minutes I could take no more
it took eight long strides to reach therefore
turning the handle nine degrees to outpour
tea from a pot I’d been brewing ten bags before.
Today day trilogy
yesterday, today and tomorrow…
take it one day at a time..!
Thankfully it’s Friday?
Yesterday, today and tomorrow shock revelation: ‘Friday’s just another day for us!’
Yesterday, today and tomorrow always stay together
whatever the circumstances, time and weather.
Werewolf of Oz: Fantasy Travel by Google Maps Free Ebook
I’ve made my old book (2012) that light-heartedly twists the Wizard of Oz theme into one of good pagans and bad monotheists; inspired by the Homes Children historic child abuse being uncovered by Margaret Humphreys (told in the Oranges and Sunshine book and film, starring Emily Watson; as well as ‘nice’ movies like Crocodile Dundee and Australia) and the industrial scale street grooming (much of it targeting Homes Children) largely uncovered at the time. It has a veggie werewolf hero and lots of anthropomorphic characters travelling Australia; and a body, mind and spirit theme replacing heart, brain and courage; free on Smashwords (need a free account) as part of their coronavirus Authors Give Back promotion.

I Criticise to Keep Consonants Company
I: Only Vowel for Criticism
crit-i-cism
i: 33.3% recurring
central
i two more, either side i
stand beside
another letter
third – i – seventh
like sent-i-nels guarding flanks
right – left
i: only vowel
without i
there would only be
consonants for criticism.
If you want to criticise the last four lines (putting a positive spin on it, and not wanting to waste the extra work, as in a state of coffilosophy {with Nordic chanting music] I forgot using criticism at the start of the poem, and used criticise, making me second-think I’d got it wrong about i being the only vowel!):
i: 75% of vowels
if i buzzed off
there would only be-e
four consonants to criticise
reminding me of the film:
Four Weddings and a Funeral!

Udder greenYgreying:
Prose book from my literary nonsense writing style period, before getting more classical with XaW Files: Beyond Humanity; and poetry book that mixed humour with seriousness (not available on Santa direct, so please don’t wish for them!).
gYgPOP World is Everywhere, Sun Shining Above Despair
Karl Lagerfeld worked at Fendi for as long as I did for Planet Earth.
Our paths crossed in the greenYgrey world.
We shared love, but not with each other.
Mine was with a mixed-up vole anagram.
All the images above are from this MSN article this morning.
Musical Coincidence?
While there’s lots of pagan rock on YouTube that relates to my writing, I thought this image from a suggested album captured the greenYgrey world evolution perfectly. The greenYgrey land linking to a PinkyOrangePurple sky through a human – perfect gYgPOP.
Moreover, it was released in 2015, the year I first espoused the new POP art. I did that in January, so think I was first!? Was the album cover influenced by the gYgPOP world, or was it a universal mind ‘coincidence’? Probably the latter, both with the same influences.
I don’t remember the psychedelic 60s, but they say you absorb a lot in the first few years of your life, so it probably did have some influence.
When we got a television in the early 1970s it was certainly there then, from the American Banana Splits to British Goodies.

Literary Nonsense Poem about Khabarovsk History and Tretyakov Art
It looked like the Greenygrey was hot on the trail of the A.W.O.L Andy Wolfhol in the last chapter of the poetically funny X Files parody XaW Files. I can’t help but think GG has gone a bit off the trail in the sixth chapter, researching and poetically documenting the life of Yerofey Khabarovsk.
Poem about Khabarovsk
Hi, it’s G.G. Howling, fiction writing correspondent at the Greenygrey inspired by J.K. Rowling. I know enough about fiction writing to know that a little background and history is necessary, and that it’s best to fit it into the narrative of the story.
However, I also know that it’s important to keep the story progressing, and don’t know if Khabarovsk is going to be important at the end.
Then again, the Greenygrey doesn’t know that either yet, as it’s still searching for our Wolfhol. Some breather chapters and fillers are often a good idea anyway, and there’s some good info and poetry within this chapter, although all done in a loopy literary nonsense style of course.
XaW Files Chapter 6: Khabarov Stroganov Tretyakov Art History Mix
Khabarovsk, Khabarovsk
so well planned
I never got lost.
Named after Khabarov
an adventurer entrepreneur
once manager for Stroganovs.
Stroganovs were an important family
remembered in food and art
like latter’s showpiece Tretyakov gallery.
There’s Morning in a Pine Forest
by SavitskyShishkin
with a bear family looking cutest.
The Bogatyrs by Vasnetsov
has three warriors
and a greenYgrey background.
Alenushka looking demure
reflecting above a pool
was another Vasnetsov picture.
Khabarov was second to the Amur
after Poyarkov’s three-year expedition
three years before.
Khabarov was there in 1649-50
returning from 1650-53
end of history after refusing expedition 3.
I hope there was a happy ending for Yerofey
because his first name has two Ys
and rhymes with Greenygrey.
Kamchatka Search Goes On Coincidence and Literary Nonsense Poem
After the Greenygrey left to search for the A.W.O.L. Andy Wolfhol on April 1st it soon found itself travelling around Kamchatka. We have since discovered that Swedish rock band Kamchatka released an album named The Search Goes On in February. 
Greenygrey’s search hadn’t even started, but it’s now in a similar Kamchatka search as Kamchatka the band were three months ago.
XaW Files Episode 4 :
Around Kamchatka Shore
I must thank Karaginsky
for it did release me
in a downward direction
shot out its southern section.
Only resting in Palana
after rounding Kamchatka
I paddled all day, one way
come what may, to Penzhina Bay.
After widening an exhausted smile
resting on the mouth in a pile
I fell asleep dreaming I ran
waking two bays away in Magadan.
