The delight
Of a kite
Flown high,
In the sky.
And when she descends
Her “Friends”
Will help her fly
High, again.
And forget her pain.
He who buys
A kite
Flies high,
And may touch the sky.
But does that middle-class guy
(Who does not supply)
Share the blame
For a kite
That burns in flight?
I was delighted to receive the below review of “Light and Shade: Serious (and Not so Serious) Poems”:
“it was amazing
This is another enjoyable collection of poems by this author, where the poems are split in to a couple of different sections: one for more serious and
thought-provoking poetry, and another for humerous poetry. As is generally the case with collections like this, while I liked all the poems, I did enjoy
some of them more than others, with “The Point of Poetry” and “The Weather Was Chill” being my favourites from the first section of this collection, while
“Vanity” and “When a Young Lady Named Leigh” were my favourites from section two.
*Note: I was given a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. This fact has in no way influenced either my opinion of the
book or the contents of this review.”

A naughty young lady named Stella
Beat me with her large umbrella.
But things got much worse
When, dressed as a nurse
She spanked me in her cellar!
“Dalliance” was the first collection of poetry published by me. Or, to be absolutely accurate, the first collection of poetry (and prose) to be published by mme.
One of the poems appearing in “Dalliance” is entitled “Midnight”
You can find “Dalliance” here, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24498367-dalliance, and here https://www.amazon.com/Dalliance-collection-poetry-prose-Morris-ebook/dp/B00QQVJC7E/
Light and dark
Is the park.
Sometimes sunlight breaks through
The trees,
And the poet sees
The fact, that you
And me
Find, in our mind
Both light and dark
And we
Must be
Forever part
Of the dark,
In the end
My friend.

There once was a crusty old agnostic
Who, being extremely fond of the acrostic,
Penned one at morn
Which left him forlorn,
As it’s reception was really quite caustic!
When a young lady whose name is Lou
Said, “I’ve starred in a movie most blue”,
The vicar’s daughter, Miss Hocking
Said, “that’s so very shocking!
And what is the pay for that Lou?”.
When a gorgeous young lady named White
Said, “meet me by the moon’s light”,
I turned up with beer
And a girl called Ria.
And a vicar who winked all night!
There once was a girl named Lou
Who penned many a critical book review.
When a young man called Cook
Said, “do you read the book?”,
She laughed until her face turned blue!
