I was delighted to receive this 4 star review of my recently released poetry collection Shadows and Birdsong:

 

“Kevin Morris’s latest poetry collection, Shadows and Birdsong, is a meditation on aging and mortality, familiar territory for readers who have read his previous collections. What sets this collection apart is a refining and deepening of Morris’s craft. The approaches to the transience of life are more varied, the rhyme schemes more sophisticated …”.

Whole Again; very poignant and concise.

 

Twilight: Lovely ,a  brief and enchanted moment, like a haiku.

 

A Garden in Early Spring: another lovely one. You are very good at describing that time of day becoming night.”

“This is a collection of almost 70 short poems. Most are reflections on mortality and the inevitability of death.

A 4 Star Review of My Collection of Humorous Poems, My Friend’s Robot Girlfriend and Other Humorous Verses

6 Replies

I was delighted to receive the below review of my collection of humorous poems, “My Friend’s Robot Girlfriend and Other Humorous Verses”:

 

“This collection of poems comprises humorous limericks. The poet has a sharp eye for the failings of mankind and has woven his observations into these clever poems.

An excellent example of one such exposing poem is Henrietta’s Erotic Letter:

When a naughty young lady named Henrietta
Sent the bishop an extremely erotic letter,
His wife called her loose
And his daughter turned puce.
And the bishop he treasured that letter …

This book is ideal for readers who enjoy a good laugh about mankind’s hypocrisy.”
