My Poem, “At A Time of Social Distancing”, read by Actor and BBC Announcer David Vickery

David Vickery

I recently blogged regarding the actor, David Vickery’s kind offer to read poems submitted to him on the subject of the Corona Virus, https://kmorrispoet.com/2020/04/17/share-your-poems/.

I am delighted to be able to announce that my poem, “At A time of Social Distancing”, is now available on Youtube and can be found here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFwdVUyS_cs&list=UUERRl7-EinGfUMCKePVlD3A.

In addition to “At A Time of Social Distancing”, David has also recorded a number of other poems, all of which can be found on his Youtube (please see link above).

When A Young Lady Named Lex

When a young lady named Lex
Sent me an extremely explicit text,
I said, with a deep sigh,
You have got the wrong guy.
But I really enjoyed your text!”.

A Young Lady Named Maddie

A young lady named Maddie
Placed an ad for a sugar daddy.
She received lots of replies
From some rather weird guys.
And I sent her my tea caddy.

“Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings, by Gabriela Maria Milton is Now Available for Purchase in the Amazon Kindle Store

Back in 2019, I was priveleged to interview poet and author Gabriela Maria Milton, https://kmorrispoet.com/2019/07/16/interview-with-poet-and-author-gabriela-m/.

On 20 April, Gabriela released “Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings”, https://shortprose.blog/2020/04/21/my-book-passions-love-poems-and-other-writings-was-published-poetry-book-poems-poem/.

I am currently reading Gabriela’s wonderful poetry on my Amazon Echo, via the Echo’s in-built speech. Whilst I have always greatly enjoyed Gabriela’s work, being able to sit in my favourite armchair and listen to her poetry read aloud adds a new and richer dimention to the experience. In my view blogs are a great way of publicising poetry. There is, however no substitute for sitting down with a good book and enjoying the work of poets. This is certainly the case with Gabriela Maria Milton’s poetry.

When My Friend Whose Name Is Round

When my friend whose name is Round
Said, “Soon, I shall be cold underground”.
I wept buckets for him.
But his beautiful girlfriend Kim,
She will still be very much around!

A Young Lady Whose Name Is Shand

A young lady whose name is Shand
Is fond of the one night stand.
She takes the men home
Then, stands all night alone.
She’s a strange young lady is Shand!,

The Changeless Wind, in the Bushes

The changeless wind, in the bushes.
Civilisation rushes
Ever faster.
Then, the disaster
Of corona, makes everything, slow.
Yet I
See bees go,
Busily by.
