When a young lady in red
Invited me to come to bed
I said, “dear Miss Moore!
This is a furniture store!
And the manager has turned red!”
Red

Slower Time
Alexa plays
As my clock chimes
Reminding me of slower days.
When Father Time
Kept a steady pace.
Many have vanished without trace.
This rhyme
Will not save
Me from the grave
And if people should find
My poetry
It will not profit me.
Yet I must write
For the night
Will end all my poetry
Beware of Email Scams
Over the last 10 days, I have received 2 emails purporting to come from WordPress and asking me to renew my domain. The below is the text of the latest scam, and I’m reproducing it here in order to bring the scam to the attention of my followers and other WordPress users:
“Auto Payment ID Declined
Dear Valued Customer,
We attempted to process your automatic payment for your domain renewal at WordPress.com, but unfortunately, your payment method was declined.
To avoid any disruption to your website or email services, please update your payment method or renew your domain manually as soon as possible.
Renew My Domain <https://soyfix.com/log/log/login.php>
Thank you for choosing WordPress.com.

You will see that the link to renew the domain does not contain a WordPress web address. This is a big red flag indicating that the email does not come from WordPress and should be deleted.
If you have any doubts about the status of your domain you should log into your account on wordpress.com to check its status. Please never click on a link within an email purporting to come from WordPress.
Cerebral
A young lady who is really most cerebral
Said, “your poetry it is so very terrible!”
I said to her, Jane,
You have a great brain,
But your manners they are really most terrible!”
Her Umbrella
You left your umbrella behind
For me to find.
I remember, it had ducks.
I let you know.
But we did not go
Down that path again.
Still I remember the ducks
And she who came
To me in the rain.
Halloween Poems
In honour of the horror of Halloween, and to make you scream:
Will You Go?
“Will you join in death’s dance
And find romance
In Hades below?
Touch my skin
Soft as snow.
My love will you go
Where the death lilies grow?”
Halloween:
Light fades.
Shades
In forgotten graves
Stir.
Black cats purr.
Despair
On a broomstick travels.
Joy unravels
As hope dies
And the vampire flies
Through pitch black skies.
(The above poems can be found in my collection, Lost in the Labyrinth of My Mind Lost in the labyrinth of my mind eBook : Morris, K.: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
Clocks and Flowers
I am wrapped around
In the profound
Silence of the morning.
No birds stir.
And my old clock’s
Steady tick tock
Goes unheard.
Earthly clocks measure hours.
But flowers
Know not time
Yet pervade
All our graves.
While we no not
Clocks and flowers.
My Poetry Reading on the World Poetry Cafe
On Thursday 23rd October, I appeared on the World Poetry Café. During the show, I read several of my own poems, including “On the Death of a Writer”, which appears in my most recent collection, “Passing Through; Some Thoughts on Life and Death”. In addition, I read Philip Larkin’s wonderful poem “Ambulances”.
My thanks to Ariadne, Anita and Victor for hosting me on the World Poetry Café. My segment begins approximately 21 minutes into the podcast.

Goth
When I met a beautiful young Goth
Who was suffering from a bad cough,
I felt such bliss
When we two kissed.
But that Goth gave me her cough!
Halloween Vampire
I met a vampire on Halloween
Who said, “why don’t you scream!”
I said to Lake,
“Pass me that stake”,
Which caused that vampire to scream!”
