Litsy – have you heard about this social media app for book lovers?

Book Club Mom's avatarBook Club Mom

A few weeks ago my son told me about a fun phone app for book lovers called Litsy. I wasn’t sure I wanted to get into more social media. We all know what a time drain it can be. But because I only use social media for my blog, I thought it might be a good fit without taking up a lot of my time.

I was right!

Litsy is a fun way to share books and book reviews and you can link your posts to your blog and include links in your profile. It’s bright and colorful and easy to use. It’s also very friendly, which is something that is important to me.

   

Here’s how Litsy describes itself:

The only thing that matches the joy of reading is sharing that joy with others. That’s why we created Litsy. Founded in 2015 by the bibliophiles who brought you…

A Girl in Heels and Scars

A girl in heels
And scars
Sees not the stars
Above, but feels
The rhythmic motion
Of a rising ocean
Coming to the boil.

Soon the bob, throb
Of the ship will cease.
Bringing peace
From her toil.

But there must be
Another captain of the sea
To receive the charms
Of heels and scars
Until his ship lies becalmed
In arms
Struggling to see
The stars

My thanks to Robbie Cheadle for taking the time to review my collection of poems, “Lost in the Labyrinth of My Mind”.

What Amazon says

A collection of poems about nature, love, and life in general.

My review

I have to state right up front that I love the style and flow of Kevin Morris’ poetry. There is something about how Kevin writes that seems to captures the true heart of poetry and it is a pleasure to read his poems.

I have read other poetry books by Kevin Morris and they have been lovely reading experiences but this particular volume really appealed to me. Perhaps because the poems in this book are slightly darker and highlight the more secretive, devious and hidden side of human nature and also the more willful, untamed and wilder side of nature. Kevin uses his carefully chosen and powerful words to cut to the beating heart of a wide variety of weighty and sometimes political subjects.

Here are a few of my favourite stanza’s from poems…

An Interview With A Difference

I was intrigued and delighted when author and poet Victoria (Tori) Zigler invited my guide dog Trigger, to be interviewed by her own four-legged canine friend.

You can find Trigger’s interview HERE

During the course of his interview, Trigger was kind enough to talk about my poetry (amongst many other things)!

Friday Humour

I know a young lady named Spink
Who has a very unusual kink.
When we passed on the stair
I most solemly swear
That she gave me a significant wink!

There was a young man of Liverpool
Who, being a bit of a fool.
jumped into the Mersey river
And started to quiver
As he mistook it for a pool!
