As the rain fell
I thought of our love
Of rain.
You and I
Share the same sky.
But does love
Hide inside the rain.

When a Young Man with a Perm
When a young man with a perm
Said, “truly you are a worthless worm!”.
I said to him, “Coker,
You’ve always been a joker!”,
As with shears I chopped that perm!
When an Elderly Spinster Named Anne
When an elderly spinster named Anne
Said, “is that a naked man!”,
A young lady named Valerie
Said, “it’s an art gallery!”,
Which disappointed that spinster named Anne …
Power
“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.
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.
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!

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.
K Morris - Poet
