A Rhyme of Her First Time
A rhyme of her first time.
She stayed for roughly an hour.
And after his bliss
Took a shower.
Then the door closed
On nondescript clothes.
She didn’t kiss him goodbye
And left no perfume
In his bedroom.
Just her towel
On his chair
To prove she’d been there.
My new audiobook – Kevin Morris reading from More Poetic Meanderings
I am in the process of recording my book ‘More Poetic Meanderings.’ You can listen to Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
This is an ongoing project and further extracts will appear here in due course.
‘More Poetic Meanderings’ is also available from Amazon in Kindle and Paperback.
I Touch the Gravestone
I touch the gravestone
Warm from the afternoon sun.
I have come
Here alone,
Many a time
My mind
Full of rhyme.
But under the cold gravestone
There is neither sun
Nor rhyme.
There Once Was a Poet Named Moat
There once was a poet named Moat
Who traveled the seas with a goat.
That beast wrote verse
Which grew steadily worse.
But it wrote better poetry than Moat!
When I Met a Lap Dancer
When I met a beautiful young lap dancer
Who asked me to go and romance her,
I said to her, “Lin,
There can be no sin!
But then again, my name it is Chancer!”.
Power
“Can I use your bathroom?”.
“Of course.
Do you want a shower?”.
She sprays cheap perfume.
“No, I’m okay”.
What is force?
And who has power
Over whom?
He has had an hour
Or so.
Now she will go.
A Case of Mistaken Identity
A young man whose name is Blair
Has a habit of calling me Clair.
But at half-past 7
I change from Kevin
And dress in the clothes of Flair!
The Truth
I said
To my friend
That the waitress
Was aloof.
Perhaps shy.
But the truth
Is I
Wanted bed.
The Country of the Blind
As someone who is visually impaired, I am registered blind, I was interested to listen to an interview with Andrew Lealand https://blog.freedomscientific.com/fscast-233-andrew-lelands-new-book-the-country-of-the-blind-and-accessible-manufacturing-at-the-seattle-lighthouse/. Andrew is in the process of losing his sight and has written a book entitled “The Country of the Blind”, which should not be confused with the novel of the same name by H. G. Wells.
In the interview Andrew talks about going blind and the many issues which losing one’s vision brings up.
Like me, Andrew uses software called Job Access with Speech (JAWS), which converts text into speech and braille enabling those who are visually impaired and/or blind to use a standard Windows computer or laptop. JAWS is manufactured by Freedom Scientific and Andrew Lealand appears on the company’s latest podcast.
I haven’t read Andrew’s book. It is, however now most definitely on my list of books to be read.
