Kevin Morris Poet’s New Show on World Poetry Cafe

8 Replies

I am pleased to let you know that my new show on the World Poetry Café is now live and can be found here https://www.mixcloud.com/VictorSchwartzman/world-poetry-cafe-july-24-2025-kevin-morris/

As many of you will be aware, I am a regular guest on the World Poetry Café. However, I now have a dedicated monthly show, during which I read and discuss not only my own work but that of others. In this podcast, I read A. E. Housman’s wonderful poem, “On Wenlock Edge” and talked about the life of the poet. In addition, I also answered questions from the hosts regarding my view as to how people can best start their unique journey into poetry.

My segment appears approximately 15 minutes into the podcast, which also includes me reading several of my own poems.

Wet Mops

When young ladies waving very wet mops

Jumped and danced on the table tops,

All the old gentlemen cheered.

While I shaved my beard.

And the waiters they called the cops!

Only 9

When a young lady who is 9

Said, “all boys are far from divine!”,

And with her water pistol

Blasted them all to Bristol!

They forgave her as she’s only 9!

When it Rains

When it rains

I try not to complain

For in the drought

Flowers die out

And we all need

To feed on the rain.

Fleeting

4 Replies

Traffic goes by

It’s sound amplified by rain.

A plane flies

In the summer sky

And birds sing.

While I compose my poetry

Touching on eternity

And the fleeting spring.

Heaven

2 Replies

When a beautiful young lady said, “Kevin,

At seven I’ll send you to heaven!”.

I said to her, “darling Heather,

I look forward to the pleasure!”,

Then she produced a pistol at seven!

Perfunctory

Leave a reply

After their perfunctory hug

She leaves his flat.

She knows the street is cold.

Though she has never experienced that –

Just his snug flat

Where time passes

In wine glasses.

And 2 bodies meet

Under the unjudging sheet.

Out Shooting Grouse

2 Replies

When I met a gentleman out shooting grouse

Who said, “sir, have you seen my spouse?”.

And I said, “I’ve seen Moriah

In a haystack with the squire!”,

He said, “I’ll shoot more than those grouse!”

My Gorgeous AI

2 Replies

I have gone and bought a gorgeous AI

Who goes by the name of Miss Sky.

She says “as a robot,

I often get real hot”.

Then she smiles and bats her one eye …

Miss Mudd

A young lady known as Miss Mudd

My friend vicar Lyme

Is fond of rhyme

And his shoes are covered in mud
