Let It Rain

Let It Rain

 

Rain’s thudding on the verandah, loud and hard

Fat drops are flooding my courtyard

The deluge’s symphony has been playing all night

And the grey cloud dawn, needs assistance from my porch light

 

The welcomed downpour, is coolly refreshing

My garden ferns and flowers are happily dancing

Although the noise of pelting rain

Has my morning music’s hum,  being drowned

As leaves and cascading waters, gurgle down the drain

I listen a legend singing, with passion about the rain

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.

  2. A heavenly blessing … after
    much drought stricken travelling.
    We are lucky in coastal Victoria.
    The more rain in November
    the less bushfire in December.
    But do remember, Ivor,
    if you see smoke on the horizon,
    quickly get packing, and go
    and for a swim in the reservoir.

      1. “🎶We come from the land
        of the ice and snow 🌧️ ❄️
        From the midnight sun,
        where the hot springs flow
        The hammer of the gods ⚒️
        W’ell drive our ships to new lands
        To fight the horde, and sing and cry
        Valhalla, I am coming! 🎶 😎
