Great Feedback On My “Selected Poems”

I was delighted to receive the following email earlier today:

“Dear Mr Morris,
I am writing to tell you that your poems in “The Collected Poems of K Morris” that you gave me on the train on my way to college are exceptional. You might not remember me but I am the girl doing politics and history that you met on the train and gifted your amazing book to. I have always been interested in writing poems and therefore you have really inspired me to carry on my interest and write some poems of my own. I would really like to thank you for gifting me your book and inspiring me to continue writing”.

But work calls

And I must go.

Yet the fall

Of the rain

And the bird’s call

Remain

Breath

The cold takes my breath.

I kick a branch away

And think of death.

Winter will not stay.

The wind through branches sighs

Then dies away.

And I will lie

As that bough

Lies now

While birds sing

In spring.

The Vicar’s Daughter

When the vicar’s daughter named Miss Lee

Said, “life is merely a tragic comedy!”

And she danced quite nude,

Which the congregation found rude!

I made her a nice cup of tea!

Time’s Halter

2 Replies

Tired.

Not inspired

To write tonight.

Light

Grows dim.

Seconds pass.

Pub and friends beckon.

The cheerful lights

Shut out the night.

But all dims

And the dark descends

In the end

Yet I laugh

And pass my time

In rhyme and friends

No-one can stop

The ever present clock

For Time’s halter

Holds us all

In thrall

Yet still we pretend …
