Cafe Go.

I’m having lunch in town

At the quaint, Cafe Go

A picture of my lunch

And the lovely courtyard (attached)

I’m reading a copy of Paul Sunstone’s poem

Which I printed this morning

The poem makes for interesting reading

For my lunch-time break

Here’s the comment I’m sending to Paul

Please Click >>Here. to view his entire poem

 

“Sounds like you are in

Great need of holes

Either, to let the light in

Or the darkness out

What ever way

Do your holes stay”

 

I adored this stanza, imagining, the sharp blade of wit, lovingly poking holes in you, for some gloomy reason, that seemed to activate my warped sense of humour.

“Would you be so kind, my love,
Would you be so tender,
As to poke some holes in me
With the sharp blade of your wit?”

I’ve recently introduced Paul to the music of Manchester Orchestra, and here’s a song of there’s we may all enjoy.

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.

  1. You could not have taken me more by surprise, Ivor! Thank you so very much. This is so kind of you!

    Only the fastest wits
    Furiously poking can poke fast enough
    To poke holes my ego
    Cannot refill as fast as they’re poked.

    1. I get there often, it’s just down from the hospital, and it’s so very homely, my sort of place, and you wouldn’t think you were near the city centre

  10. Ivor, I am troubled to say that I just now discovered someone has gone and defamed you. I breaks my heart they would do such a thing to such a man as yourself.

    The blog critic Gus Johnson out of Leper’s Gulch, Colorado, mentioned you in his column today — and cast you in a heinous light.

    I link you to his remarks with tears of frustrated outrage in my eyes:
