To A Rose

Sometimes I compose a poem and, having done so conclude that it is, in fact 2 (separate) compositions.

Yesterday I composed “To Flowers that, In Springtime Bud”, https://kmorrispoet.com/2019/11/30/to-flowers-that-in-springtime-bud/. It consisted of 2 stanzas, however I posted here only the second of these with the title “To Flowers that, In Springtime Bud”. Today I am posting the first stanza which is, as I say above, an entirely separate poem.

What the poet thinks is, of course, not necessarily the same as his readers, so do please feel free to comment if you disagree with my interpretation of the matter.

‘Tis a fine
Thing
To see the spring
Divine,
And compose
A poem, to a rose,
That she
Will never see.

“The Selected Poems of K Morris” is now available in braille from the Royal National Institute of Blind People

On 15 November, I wrote a post in which I said that my “Selected Poems” would soon be available in braille, from the Royal National Institute of Blind People, (RNIB), https://kmorrispoet.com/2019/11/15/my-selected-poems-will-soon-be-available-in-braille-from-rnib/. I am pleased to announce that “The Selected Poems of K Morris (Braille edition) was delivered this afternoon (Saturday 30 November).

I am, of course, delighted that visually impaired people (those who read braille, for by no means all sight impaired individuals do so), will have the option to enjoy my poetry in this format. In addition, text to speech is, of course enabled on all of my books, meaning that those who (like me) are unable to read print, can listen to my Kindle titles.

A young Lady Whose Name Is Jane

A young lady whose name is Jane
Has composed a poem about a train.
It goes like an express,
And her speed does impress.
But lets now turn to that train!

A Rhyme for Election Time

A rhyme
For election time.
Claim and counter claim.
The public say, “they
lie, its always the same”.

Manifestos contain
Promises (to be kept, or broken).
Are politician’s words, spoken,
At election time,
Worth more
than a poor
Poet’s rhyme?

A Young Woman, Overheard

“He said, “can you do
Me a favour?”,,
If you know what I mean?”,
Its easy to misconstrue
2 plus 2 as 92,
But, me, enjoying the flavour
Of my food, had a thought,
Positively obscene,
That the mathematical law
Does mean
That 2, plus 2
Always equals 4.
