Haiku: Wake Up
Today birds didn’t sing
Tonight the moon is silent
Tomorrow needs love
Ivor Steven (c) August 2019
Wake Up

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.

Reblogged this on flashlight batteries – poetry and commented:
A fellow poet has summed up the love our world needs so beautifully in this haiku. I just have to share. Thank you, Ivor.

Love and (((HUGS))) for each of your tomorrows, Ivor! May you have years and years and years of beautiful tomorrows! 🙂
When the moon and birds are quiet…we should sing for them out of gratitude for the love and beauty they’ve given to us!!! 🙂
AND I hope our planet has many many many, etc., tomorrows! I want a great life for those who follow behind us. 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
