Happy Friday! It’s time for my guest writer slot. This week, it gives me great pleasure to welcome back Kevin Morris, who has appeared in this slot a few times with his stunning poems. Here’s a poem from his new poetry collection entitled ‘The Churchyard Yew and Other Poems’.
By
Kevin Morris
A hyacinth’s scent last night
Brought such delight
To me, as she stood,
Pure and white,
In her box of wood.
Others unopened stood
In that box of wood.
They will flower and die
As will I.
If you enjoyed Kevin’s poem, you can buy the book from Amazon

Thanks for the information, Kevin but it might be a bit too pricey for my elderly passengers.

I understand. It is quite a bit of money. There is other free software such as NV Access | Download NVDA. I don’t know much about this software. I’ve used JAWS for years but only dabbled very briefly with NVDA. Best of luck. Kevin

A beautiful poem by Kevin. I have his book and will get to it soon. I haven’t had much reading time because my aunt is in hospital and is very ill.
