Invited me round for tea and chocolate cake,
There where lots of young women
And a good deal of sinning.
As for me, I stuck to the cake!

By the moon’s knowing light.

Immorality

As she handed the dictionary to Coral!

Was admired by the men of the land!
Three Autumn Poems read by Poet Kevin Morris
Officially Autumn begins here in the UK on 22 September. However, the weather is increasingly autumnal. And, in my view autumn is already with us. Consequently I am reblogging some autumnal poems recorded by me in 2019. I hope you enjoy listening to them. Kevin
Here are three poems ‘Autumn’, ‘Autumn Fly’ and ‘Bush in the Rain’ read by me. The poems are illustrated by photographs of the autumn woods, taken by my friend Shanelle.
