POEM FROM THE TONY MORRIS ARCHIVE FOLLOWED BY NEW POEM
AN EDITOR REGRETS
I am sorry
There is no space.
There are so many stars these days
The Milky Way is so overcrowded
That there are frequent multiple pile ups
Which cause spin offs of meteors
Soon burnt out
In the coarse atmosphere of the Planet Earth
Where they fall
Unnoticed and unnoted
As stone or dust.
If you must keep sending me poems,
Please remember this.

COMMENT 2009
Now we have the Internet
No need for Editors regrets,
No need for Editors of posy poetry magazines,
Just get it out there on computer screens;
Just flush your poems in cyberspace,
Let the invisible fan just do the rest
So everyone can get a bit
Of ‘Everyperson’s’ poetry.
