Pink Looks Good on a Black or White Background

Yesterday I celebrated Oaks-Day and wore vivid pink 

Who cares what the other guys think 

Today I’ve dressed myself in white 

Because my mood is happy and bright 

Tomorrow I’ll look like a “Kiwi All-black” 

To match the colour of my hat 

No matter how we feel on the day 

We all like to wear a different coloured display 

So what’s so different about our outer coverings 

To the way we express our skins colourings ?? 


Today’s poem is a copy of a comment that I wrote to Kate, of ‘CalmKate’, about her thought provoking poem “Colour”, https://aroused.blog/2020/11/06/colour/ , and big thank you to Kate for encouraging me to post my little anecdote as a poem on my site.

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.

      3. It’s horrible, isn’t it? To vote for such an openly racist candidate says a lot about the voters and how far the Civil Rights movement hasn’t come since the days of Martin Luther King.
