(Who all the dissolute old rakes adore),

Called the Good Rub .
Where they threw me out the door!

I Walked Alone

I walked alone

I pondered on lovers
And the dead.

Do they not?

How to Publish Your Poetry

Former Foyle Young Poet Phoebe Stuckes has some useful advice on how to publish your poetry, https://ypn.poetrysociety.org.uk/features/how-to-publish-your-poetry-putting-together-the-first-book/.

The main focus of Phoebe’s advice pertains to being published by traditional means, as opposed to self publishing.

In contrast to the above, all of my books have been self published.

Earlier this year I wrote a guest article on how to produce a Selected Poems, which can be found here, https://thestoryreadingapeblog.com/2020/02/11/why-produce-a-selected-poems-guest-post-by-kevin-morris/

I said, “you are pretty
And I am quite witty.
But I’ve never been called sincere!”.

Whilst Walking Through A Very Thick Mist

Whilst walking through a very thick mist
I met with my friend the anthologist.
He said “take a look
At this fine poetry book”.
But I couldn’t see through the mist!
