Someone Has Swept

Someone has swept
The leaves to the side
Of the path.
Autumn has crept
Up on me, And I
Can not decide
Whether I ought
To laugh
Or sigh,
For I
Can compose a rhyme
To tyme,
But he
Can not be bought
By me.

A 5 star review of “The Selected Poems of K Morris”

[image error]

I was delighted to receive the below review of my “Selected Poems”:

“it was amazing

This is a wonderful collection of poems by this author. I remember many of them from other collections I’ve read by him, but didn’t mind reading those again. It was difficult to pick favourites to mention in this review, because I have half a dozen favourites just from section one (the book is split in to several sections). I really love the poem “Why Do I Write?” though. “Lost” and “Raining” are also favouri...

CaoLOURS OF AUTUMN WAIT

A beautiful poem by Lorraine.

Colours
Of autumn wait
For the dying of light
To display themselves in glory
Final
Burst till
White winter comes pale against dark
Colourless yet shining
Patterns on glass
Ice threads

There Once Was A PM Called Boris

There once was a PM called Boris
Who, whilst reading The Odes of Horace,
Spied the Downing Street Cat
With a rather large rat,
Which rather put the PM off Horace!

There Once Was An Extremely Controversial Pamphlateer

There once was an extremely controversial pamphleteer
Who went by the name of Lear.
He resembled a moose,
Crossed with a goose,
In looks he was really quite queer!

A Young Lady Whose Name Is Heart

A young lady whose name is Heart
Is a producer of extremely fine art.
I have oft seen her etching,
Although I’m more into my sketching,
But I’m very fond of Miss Heart!

Autumn

The scent of autumn is soon gone.
I shall live on
For a time
And take joy in rhyme
And the leaves
That please
Me
As they fall from a myriad
Tree.
I am glad
To forget my care
In this autumn air.
And shall learn to be
At one with leaf and tree.

A Young Lady Whose Name is Claire

A young lady whose name is Claire
Likes older men who have grey hair,
But on seeing mine,
She refused to dine,
She’s a fickle young lady is Claire!
