There once was a poet named Gus
Who said, “we have much to discuss
Of literature and art,
And my broken heart”.
But his lover said, “Gus, don’t fuss!”.
A Poet’s Broken Heart

Resistance to Social Distance
When ants in a young lady’s kitchen
Showed a complete disregard for social distance,
A lover who was visiting her there
Said, “my dearest darling Claire,
I confess that I’m itching
To report those ants in your kitchen
For demonstrating resistance
To social distance!”.
Dog and Man
I see the sky
And ponder on biology
And culture, that maketh me.
Or am
I part
Of some great plan
For man?
My dog has a heart
Full of love for me.
He is biology
(As I am),
But is he part
Of some inscrutable plan
For dog and man?
I am told
That my dog has no soul,
Yet he is more loving than
Many a man.
Or is it art
That separates dog from man?
Perhaps we are part
Of some god’s great plan.
In the end
My old friend,
I think there is just
The great sky above,
And dust,
and love.
Vampire Humour
Some vampire humour
Alice
There was a young lady named Alice
Who lived in the great Crystal Palace.
She was a naughty little minx
And into all kinds of kinks.
But Alice, she had absolutely no malice!
An Update on My New Poetry Collection
On 24 May, I made an announcement regarding my forthcoming poetry collection (please see here, https://kmorrispoet.com/2020/05/24/my-forthcoming-poetry-collection/).
My book is in the process of being proof read. And, as mentioned in the above post, I hope to be in a position to publish it by the end of June or at the beginning of July.
As a taster, I have included below a recording of me reading one of the poems which appears in my new collection.
Birds in a Tree
In spring
I heard
Birds sing
With such ecstacy
In a tree,
As I did pass
Along the woodland path.
They sang not For me.
Yet it filled my heart,
And I almost forgot
My art
In their, unconscious poetry.
