“Can I use your bathroom?”.
“Of course.
Do you want a shower?”.
She sprays cheap perfume.
“No, I’m okay”.
What is force?
And who has power
Over whom?
He has had an hour
Or so.
Now she will go.
Power

A Case of Mistaken Identity
A young man whose name is Blair
Has a habit of calling me Clair.
But at half-past 7
I change from Kevin
And dress in the clothes of Flair!
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!”.
The Truth
I said
To my friend
That the waitress
Was aloof.
Perhaps shy.
But the truth
Is I
Wanted bed.
The Country of the Blind
As someone who is visually impaired, I am registered blind, I was interested to listen to an interview with Andrew Lealand https://blog.freedomscientific.com/fscast-233-andrew-lelands-new-book-the-country-of-the-blind-and-accessible-manufacturing-at-the-seattle-lighthouse/. Andrew is in the process of losing his sight and has written a book entitled “The Country of the Blind”, which should not be confused with the novel of the same name by H. G. Wells.
In the interview Andrew talks about going blind and the many issues which losing one’s vision brings up.
Like me, Andrew uses software called Job Access with Speech (JAWS), which converts text into speech and braille enabling those who are visually impaired and/or blind to use a standard Windows computer or laptop. JAWS is manufactured by Freedom Scientific and Andrew Lealand appears on the company’s latest podcast.
I haven’t read Andrew’s book. It is, however now most definitely on my list of books to be read.
Rose and her Toes
I know a young lady named Rose
Who likes to show me her toes.
My wife Coral
Calls her immoral,
But she hasn’t seen Rose without clothes!
Videos of Poet Kevin Morris reading his poetry
This evening I recorded a number of poems on Tiktok. You don’t have to have a TikTok account in order to view these videos. However, if you enjoy these readings and wish to follow me on TikTok that would be much appreciated.
My Poetry T Shirt
I have recently created a poetry t shirt, which shows my poem ‘Fallen Blossom’ :
I found
Blossom on the ground.
Which brought
To mind the thought,
We all,
As the blossom, fall.
The t shirt was manufactured by a company called Fluid Branding.
Fallen Blossom can be found in my collection, More Poetic Meanderings which is available in Kindle and Paperback from Amazon.
Westminster Cathedral’s Chimes
The passing chimes
Of Westminster Cathedral bring to mind
A former time
When belief in empire still burned strong.
Yet in his song
Rudyard Kipling foresaw
That the fire
Of the British Empire
Would burn no more.
Westminster Cathedral’s chimes
Will continue on
When I am gone
And Kipling’s great rhymes
Will be condemned
(As before)
By men
Who have never read
“Recessional”. and know not he foresaw
That the red
Of empire would show no more.
Puddles on the Churchyard Path
I passed
Puddles on the churchyard path.
But when
I came that way again
I saw them no more.
How quickly men
Pass by
Puddles on the churchyard path,
And how soon they die.
