nung saunter


nung flauter could of
scrunched flap wrong brackish
shaped flatter sprang mope
new your flutter grist
king dung mates my
eye baits sung wing
mist clutter nor you
soap clang ladder caped
breakage song map punch
glove should daughter !Kung

sung munched scrape phew
would tong clang mutter
ring pie wurst hope
fates hung nor bladder
aching shove stung lunch
clap dauntless hood kong
plate few drink why
bang shutter tongue wrung
pissed grope slack dove

roster zap


roster nap mighty flavor
smothers rants bung noodling
sank the brought knocks
foul dog airborne
bing cub club moat
goat lube cube ming
born a frog scowl
clocks wrought the bank
nodding lung trance smoulders
favor nightly lap fosters

posture shoulders sank owl
miter gung bought cog
ding boat elbowed socks
tub tube hog thief
poodled waver monster slathers
traipse lapis niger lunge
rank towel cling smote
rouge aft lab crib
torn hocks slobbing liver
clog theme slants zap

sea sluice


sea show was balled ale
heart shape wait called lull
lean shaft waif falls failed
bear shit white malls mulls
wean shovel woven mauls vault
feat shank weal stalls salt
team shudder wheat saws thought
clear shade weird clause paws
reap should would laws laud
zeal shoulder wheeze walled zaum
near shawl wail palled pallid
yearn schlub weary hawse hoarse
deaf ship whist galls gales
mead shoal weeds small snail
gear shan't want aws wasp
eat shock wok bawls raw
please sheet weave scrawls scrap
veal shirt word gnaws gnarled
knead shunt went slaws sluice

pair blessing


pair mold pole pump lump
vain moon main mattress lattice
nail mood mail moper soap
haiku model hotel hump stumps
fair mom from frantic mantis
maim mope paean plucked mollusk
jail mobile job jerk cob
laid mop lope laundry jaundiced
wait mote wrote rats matches
dairy mottle dotted dump trumps
aim motor maid mostly motley
said molecule school scrap script
bait mojo boson boom boxers
gain moebius grist grunt risky
raisin mount mansion muttered sutures
cairn mob cobbler cost bluster
taint moss tossed table blessing

clasp pilot leech fulcrum arch
asp clip home soaked filtch

drip sloped ballot anvil scum

loam ballast murk swivel root
lurked facile tudor drivel angle

cloaked silt agile stupor blight
doldrum darks dumb foot light

cancel loopings trudge sleet drone
cancers heel crash lore bowling

peel slug mast rash heavy

hash laser blunt tube mist
blazing colt dummy pent scarred

scald tent scummy bolt raisin

From screw


from weight blinn you
stun curtain sea peel

certain times tige neither
looms fettered pills rally

she towers zale lulls
tattered issue wrestle swerves

deal cable cerst combat

room commom makse reminder
grime's late bin side

letters twisted orgend gone
pale wurst inflates organ

filled nerves pulis enough
dulls zek absorbed revealing

alley vessels prek nothing
something luffs song binder

shattering tissues worb repeating
habit pills either screw
