I’m In Pieces After The Crash

In my hand I hold a beam

The smallest of silver screens

Reflecting my hidden dreams

My pocket mirror of silent screams

Shamefully I’m blushing blood red

Deeply scolding myself instead

Selfishly my crash is but a drop in the ocean

Seeing rivers of crushed tears dripping from the children

Children alone, yet to be reunited

Children trashed and yet unsighted

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.

      8. Okay I will concede that all computers have a mother at heart. My computers have traditionally been named after Star Trek characters, all male! I hope Ivor gets his machine fixed soon.

      9. Ivor’s brother has gone on holidays for 10 days, He’s going to use parts of my machine and reconstruct a new computer for me, I suppose you’d call it a custom /hand-made computer,. And yep, probably need a new mother board ☺️

  7. Dear Ivor, You are coming in loud and clear from wherever or however you are transmitting! Love this poem! Technology is a puzzling thing, beat it into submission by whatever means are available to you. Or, embrace the art of patience until the resurrection of your computer. Never give up! Thank-you!

  8. Hope you have a back up drive. I love your poem but I’m sorry the computer is going to take such a long time to fix. Get to grips with the microphone on your phone, it will save a lot of typing. 😊

    1. I’m learning how to use my WP on my smart box to my TV. It has a keyboard with real buttons that aren’t too small. 😊 I’m finding it an interesting exercise. ⌨️📺💻😉

  9. Oh Ivor….. I know we often complain about the ‘bad stuff’ on the internet…. But I am thankful for the good stuff. Now there will be less until you are ‘repaired’. Cheers to your brother for taking on the task!

      2. I’m still without a computer, until my brother gets back from holidays in 8 days time. 😊 I’m making do on my phone, my TV’s smart box, and going to my local library, but it’s all quite a task. 😊

  13. I wish the judge would have fined the government big time for not making the deadline. A missed opportunity in my opinion. One wonders if all those kids will ever find their way back to their parents.
