Poet Kevin Morris on TikTok

As some of you may know, I have recorded a number of my poems on TikTok. You don’t have to have an account to watch my videos, however, you will need an account if you wish to like, comment or follow me on the platform.

My experience of TikTok has, on the whole, been a positive one, and I would encourage my fellow writers and poets to consider the platform. In my experience, my videos on TikTok reach people who do not follow me on my blog, although I am, of course, grateful to those few WordPress followers who also follow me on TikTok.

 

June Author Newsletter

I am pleased to announce that my June Author Newsletter is available and can be found here. It is over a year since my last newsletter, and I promise to be much better in the future.

There Was a Young Lady of Cameroon

There was a young lady of Cameroon

Who went by the name of Moon.

By the star’s bright light

She would squeal with delight,

But it was over all too soon!

A Tough Young Man Known as Lee

A tough young man known as Lee

Says he wants a word with me,

About a girl called Bland

And our one night stand,

But she only came round for tea!

When I Met a Young Lady Online

When I met a young lady online

Who invited me round for some wine,

I said to her, “Coral,

There will be nothing immoral!”.

She said, “no, but after the wine …”.

I Am Trapped in Time

I am trapped

In time.

My passing rhyme

Must end

When he taps

Me on the shoulder

And says, “its over

My friend”.

 

And will aliens find

Fragments of poetry

And ponder on rhyme

And fleeting time?

 

 

Or will they see

An unintelligible line?

Or perhaps not care

When and where

We humans wrote,

Then cut our throat?

 

 

A Rake Ponders on His Mortality

Will I die,

Like a drunken fool

Falling off a bar stool?

Or will I

Be found dead in bed

In an empty room

Where cheap perfume

Lingers on stiffening fingers?

 

Will I die

As an old rake

Who did partake

In fleeting play?

 

 

There is no bliss

In death’s hard kiss,

Merely clay

Where rake and saint

Together stay.

Lou Who Dressed in 1 Shoe

There was a young lady named Lou

Who walked around dressed in 1 shoe.

When a girl called Rose

Said, “put on some clothes!”,

Lou said, “I’m dressed in this shoe!”.

 

The Wicked Cat

I once met a wicked cat

Who attacked me with a bat.

When I said, “Percy!

Show me some mercy!”,

He laughed and raised that bat!

 

When Naughty Miss White and Miss Winning

When naughty Miss White and Miss Winning

Came round to mine for some sinning,

We got covered in cake

While a vicar named Lake

Condemned us for all of our sinning!
