Throwback Friday, Grumpy Bears in Chains

A poem I wrote in Nov 2020, which now appears in my new book “Until Eyes Hear Sound”


Grumpy Bears in Chains





The crashing noise started after midnight

When the growling thunder gave darkness a fright

I was shaken by the storms furious hard rain

Sounding like grumpy bears in chains

Thumping my iron roof with their heavy paws

And lashing at the awnings with their steely claws

Then the giant drops turned into falling ice blocks

And I rushed back inside to shelter behind the dog box

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  4. Sounds very moody and loud! I hope you and Sir Frankie were safe in the storm. (Coop gets scared of the thundery noises!)
    Your photo ignites the reader’s emotions and senses! Excellent word-pics, too!
    Lovely photo of handsome, sweet Sir Frankie! 🙂
    Powerful, haunting song.
