In my frayed old dressing gown I found
A broken hairband.
I know not where
I met her.
Names I forget.
But this broken hairband commands reflection and regret
For her and all those before.
And others, if there are more

Grief
Sometimes my belief
Is that grief
Conquers all.
Then I recall
The air
In late August
Carrying hay
And coming Autumn.
Such sweet air
Carries no despair.
Fantasies of Twos and Threes
Fantasies of twos and threes.
Hard bought kisses
From scheming young misses
Create an old rake’s blisses
Where girl’s perfume
Hangs on hands
In lonely rooms.
Lou Who Was Known for Wearing 1 Shoe
There was a young lady named Lou
Who was known for wearing 1 shoe.
When they asked her why
She’d point to the sky,
And say, “there flies my other shoe!”.
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.
As the Rain Fell
As the rain fell
I thought of our love
Of rain.
You and I
Share the same sky.
But does love
Hide inside the rain.
When a Young Man with a Perm
When a young man with a perm
Said, “truly you are a worthless worm!”.
I said to him, “Coker,
You’ve always been a joker!”,
As with shears I chopped that perm!
Doze
As I
Grow older, I
Doze more
In my armchair.
I wonder
When and Where
I will die.
A Matter of Weight
When a young lady named Lin
Was accused of a terrible sin
An elderly judge called Katie
Said, “this matter is weighty”.
But Lin was really quite slim!
When an Excitable Young Lady Named Lou
When an excitable young lady named Lou
Said, “I never thought I’d be here with you!”.
And I said, “my dear,
But now you are here”,
She said, “yes! That is undoubtedly true!”.
