She was, Perhaps Japanese

The curtains where drawn.
The forlorn
Fact of an act,
Remembered, when alone
At home.

She was, perhaps Japanese,
And tried to please,
In english, broken, so softly spoken.
Something was said about a condom.
He did, then was gone.
Maybe, God sees.

There Was A Young Lady Named Beth

There was a young lady named Beth
Who said, “I don’t believe in death”.
But, as she grew older
The world became ever colder,
And she started to believe in death.

When A Young Lady Named Leigh

When a young lady named Leigh
Said, “don’t you mess with me!”,
I said “its not my intention
To do the thing you mention,
Now shall we descend this tree?”.

In The Garden of Delight

In the garden of delight
Both day and night
The flower’s perfume
Enters the lover’s room.
Blouses are lost.
The mushroom
Rises. The frost
Will chill
The flower and mushroom,
Oh, so soon.

Girls Shoes

I find
That girls shoes
Prey on my mind
From time to time.

Did they choose
To wear those shoes?
(I speak here
Of women of a particular kind).

I fear
That stilettos,
Worn by girls from ghettos
Prey on my mind,
Although you will find
That there are a few
Young middle class women too.

When A Young Lady Named Gwen

When a young lady named Gwen
Said, “I am god’s gift to men”,
I said, “my dear sweet girl
You set my head in a whirl,
But could you return my pen?”.

When A Religious Young Lady Named White

When a religious young lady named White
Entered my bedchamber at midnight,
And I said, “please stay,
She said, “we should pray”,
And then she turned out the light.

To and Fro

The razor does go
To and fro
As he shaves me.
We speak of women,
And his hands go
To and fro.

“Would you like anything else?”, he asks,
His task
Maybe, complete.
I think of young women’s feet
But say,
“Not today”.

There Was A Young Lady Named Dora

There was a young lady named Dora
And many holy men did adore her.
By her winking red light
I watched good bishop White,
Trying to save that young lady Dora.

Amazon is Cutting Back on Buying/Stocking Books! AUTHORS, HERE’S HOW TO SAVE YOUR BUSINESS!!

The article linked to in Ann’s post is, I think rather misleading. If (like me) you publish the print edition of your books through Amazon, with Amazon printing and sending the titles to your readers, the delivery times are, in my experience good. For example I have just looked at the delivery time for the paperback edition of my “Selected Poems”, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Selected-Poems-K-Morris/dp/1688049800/. The Amazon site shows that anyone placing an order today for my book (in the UK)...
