Moving On. A Senryu
I’m down here waiting
Is the miracle coming
Best be moving on

Month: February 2020
Silently Sliding Away
Today’s path is a moist slipway
Of moss covered tears
Sliding into His sacred bay
Full of dreams from bygone years
Silently revealing ripples of calmer days

Gazing At The Amazing
Gazing At The Amazing
Thor startles me out of slumber
And I’m sheltering under my verandah
Sitting here naked as the day I was born
Gazing at the amazing weeping dawn
Crying a bucket full of raindrops
Spreading sparkles with every wet plop
On the roof I hear a cascade from above
Big puddles are shimmering like leather gloves
Growing into a groundswell of high humidity
Soaking my body in sweaty liquidity
Then softly a caressing breeze cools my skin
While the courtyard garden’s sprouting wings
Nature’s evidence of the night’s heavy rain
And the heaven’s are opening up again

Five Shades of Grey (Revised)
This weekend the Word/Photo Challenge for the monthly Colour Challenge, and for February the colour is Grey! (gray)… If you wish to join in the fun, go over and visit the Weekly Prompt’s site, by clicking >> Here
Today, I’ve attached two photos of our friendly grey marsupials, the Kangaroo’s and Koala’s. I’m afraid most of our marsupials have suffered massive losses during the horrendous bushfires this summer…..but I’m happy to report that most of the fire affected areas, have received significant amounts of rain today……and so my revised poem “Five Shades of Grey” is suitably appropriate for today’s welcome weather conditions…..
Five Shades of Grey
Daylight turns into night
Ravens scatter in mid-flight
Dark clouds overlay
Into five shades of grey
Thor’s hammer roars
His spark of fire, soars
Fiercely a flaming bolt strike’s
Piercing frightened psyches

Throwback Friday, A Distant Ship, by Ivor Steven
Hello dear readers and followers, here’s a re-posting of a poem I wrote in September 2017, I didn’t have many followers back then, so this for all of my new readers, and anyone who needs a refresher….
A Distant Ship
Am I afraid, or am I being slowly discouraged.
Dismayed by the emptiness of my quivering heart.
Am I consumed, or am I being bodily starved.
Eaten by the cells of my inner sentiments.
Am I infatuated, or have I been possessed.
Devoured by the recess of my lonely soul.
Am I swimming after the impossible love-boat.
Drowning in the wake of that passing icebreaker.
Ivor Steven (c) September 2017
