There once was a girl called Lou
Who wrote a poem upon her shoe.
A young man named Neil
Said, “you’re down at heel.
And your poem it won’t do Lou!”.

What’s in a Rhyme – a Podcast of Poet Kevin Morris’s Interview on Accessing Art with Amy Amantea
I was recently interviewed by Amy Amantea of Accessing Art. During that interview I read and discussed 2 of my poems, “Time” and “Raining”. I also talked about what inspired both poems and poetry more generally.
A podcast of my interview on Accessing Art is now available and can be found here, https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/accessing-art-with/whats-in-a-rhyme-NgWPC2vfUeM/
My grateful thanks to Amy for interviewing me on her Accessing Art show.

Who, being curious about red lights that flicker,
Got told to come in
By a girl called Lin,
Who showed him why red lights they flicker …

She did remark,
In the corner of his room
A spider spinning.
In his dark art, a thought,
A poet caught
Of average room
And spider spinning.

There was a young lady in heels
Who was fond of swimming with seals.
The men, full of beer
Would stand near and cheer,
As they loved to watch those seals!

Whose friends all thought him a fool.
One day at dawn
He spied a leprechaun,
Which made him fall off his stool!
When a Forward Young Lady Named Fay
When a forward young lady named Fay
Said, “sir, you are old and gray!”,
I composed a rhyme
About old Father Time
And Fay whose hair will turn gray!
Poltergeist
There once was a very clever poltergeist
Who carried out a daring bank heist.
My late friend Kate

And was known as the clever poltergeist …!
When a Ghost Travelling in a Carriage
When a ghost travelling in a carriage
Said, “do come with me to Harwich!”,

As your carriage is already in Harwich!”
