Philadelphian rain
Like a rattling freight train
Wet fat drops
That didn’t stop
Watering flowers on mother’s day
The liquid joy of May

Wet Flowers of May

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.

Truly nice portrayal of Philadelphia weather on Mother’s Day. I’ve read the Northeast region has seen its’ wettest April since year 1912. I presume no chance of drought ahead. It’s still raining in May! 🙂
