Kevin Morris reading his poem ‘To my dog Trigger, who lay on my book’.

While drinking in my favourite local pub, The Railway Bell (http://www.rampubcompany.co.uk/visit-pubs/railway-bell), I left my rucksack, which contained a copy of my book ‘Lost in the Labyrinth of my mind’ (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-labyrinth-my-mind-Morris-ebook/dp/B01AF5EPVY) on the floor. My guide dog Trigger made himself comfortable on both book and rucksack, creasing ‘Lost’s pages, which led to the composition of this poem.

The poem can be found in Refractions: https://www.amazon.co....

This poem appears in my collection of poetry ‘Refractions’: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Refractions-K-MORRIS-ebook/dp/B01L5UC2H2, under the title ‘Women’. In retrospect, I believe that ‘Woman’ better fits the poem, hence I have changed its title on YouTube.

A great post by Annette. I agree with Annette that authors should do what works for them. Some may find a professional cover designer best fits their needs, while others will use their own talents to create covers. The book cover for my collection of poetry and prose “Dalliance” was created by Chris Graham, while my dear friend, Jeff Grant kindly donated (free of charge) the photograph which adorns my most recently published collection of poetry, “Refractions”.

There was a young lady called Lin
Who committed a terrible sin.

So will the truth conceal,
But it happened in a place called Berlin

5 hints to make reading poetry more enjoyable

Maja is right that in this highly paced technological society we are in danger of losing our ability to pause and savour experiences, whether this be the reading of poetry or the appreciation of a flower.
The quote by Charles Darwin, at the end of the post is interesting.

Business in Rhyme

As much as I do believe that technology has given us a lot – a sort of commodity and easiness in our lives, it is also taking from us. We are becoming more accustomed to live fast, do as much as possible...
