A 5 Star Review Of My Book “Lost In The Labyrinth Of My Mind”
I was delighted to receive the following review in respect of my recently published collection of poems, “Lost In The Labyrinth Of My Mind”,
“This is the third collection of poems I’ve read by this author. No matter how hard you try not to, you always come to expect a certain something from an
author you’ve read a couple of books by. This was the case with me when I agreed to read and review this book. And, you know what? I was not in the least
disappointed. The poems in this book are often t...

Kindle For PC
On 11 January I announced the publication of my collection of poetry, “Lost In The Labyrinth Of My Mind” (https://newauthoronline.com/2016/01/11/lost-in-the-labyrinth-of-my-mind-by-k-morris-is-now-available-in-the-kindle-store/).

I was pleased to email back and advise that Kindle titles can also be read using Kindle for PC (http://ww...
London
Lost in the crowd.
London’s voice loud.
The traffic screeches.
A man preachs.
His voice reachs
The birds.
Words.
A mobile phone.
People alone
Walk
And talk.
Something is bought.
A train is caught.
Newspapers russle.
A homeless man bussles
Along.
The same sad song
“I have no pay
And nowhere to stay.
Spare some change to help me today”.
People look away.
As just another day
Slowly trundles away.

To an Indoor Rose Bush Purchased In My Local Supermarket
On the supermarket shelf you shonne.
But now are gone.
A stick in a pot
That liveth not.
O why did I buy
A thing sure to die?

The Hill
How easy to loose the plot.
The fire burns hot
And the hand
Obeying not sense’s command
Touches the burning coal.
The soul
Pulls back
But oft we lack
The will
To climb the hill
To a cloudless place
Where the sun’s face
Banishes the dark
And tears of joy start
To fall.
We recall
The path of right
And struggle against the night.

Five Fascinating Facts about Dystopian Fiction
Interesting facts about dystopian novels and the history of the genre
In a previous post, we recommended 10 of the best early dystopian novels and offered some insight into how they came about. This might be considered a follow-up post to that earlier one, offering a brief history of dystopian fiction in five interesting facts.

Short Story – Sometime in the near future- Albert The Perfect Candidate.
Smorgasbord - Variety is the spice of life
I first posted this on January 3rd last year as a reminder of what could happen for millions of us if we do not actively make changes in our lifestyle and diet. Part of the problem is that we have handed over responsibility for our health and the food we eat to the medical profession, industrial food producers and their marketing companies. We are not proactive but reactive. When something goes wrong we head off to the doctor and expect him to fix i...

An Afternoon In Early January
The sky slowly darkens.
He harkens
To birds.
No words.
Only the sun sinking
And him thinking
On time
And the divine.
Yet
She left her makeup behind
For him to find.
A common mistake
For a girl to make.
How easy to forget
Yet …
