Friday Fun – unusual.

Unusually Cold
Dawn sounds like a howling wolf
Thudding noises hit the roof
Icy fat rain drops
Heavy sleet doesn’t stop
Pouring, overflowing buckets and frozen cups
Shovelling hail from my front steps
The coldest winter is here to stay
Polar blizzards everyday
Freezing puddles abound
Feet splash on the cold, cold ground
A week of remaining inside
This time, the weatherman hadn’t lied

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.

yes it’s both amazing and appalling that the weather prediction was true for the first time I can remember! We’ve had 36 hours of foul strong winds … roofs and fences ripped off. Other things tossed about and broken …
Stay warm Ivor it will pass, I can see the sun today and the wind has dropped to tolerable 🙂
