A Snowman Falls

A Snowman Falls



The writing is on the wall

Did you see the words fall?

From stars of blue, one and all

The letters stood humble and tall

Shimmering like Niagara Falls

Announcing the new overhaul

Choirs sang within tenement halls

Medicine-men debuted at the White House ball

And did you hear the snowman fall?

Into his dishonest cannon balls

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.

  11. If this poem is about who I think it is then I say, Bravo Ivor!! Also – I LOVE these pictures of all your poetry on the wall. Is this at the cafe that you frequent? I’m surprised there’s room left for the macrame hangings with your prolific accomplishments! 😍

    1. Haha…. this morning I took a few photos of my verandah wall, and I was going to write a poem about my nostalgic wall display, and the opening 2 lines flowed easily….
