Yesterday’s Storms

I wrote this poem after reading Ali Grimshaw’s post/poem this morning, and as I sometimes do, I commented on her piece with a poetic anecdote. You can view Ali’s site and poem via clicking on this link >> https://flashlightbatteries.blog/2020/12/05/weather-forecast-poem-by-ali-grimshaw/


Yesterday’s Storms

today words fell off the weatherman’s chart

some misty clouds with rainbow arcs

there will be windy circles and sunny parts

dotted isobars will blow over old landmarks

bringing bold fronts and false starts

with possible heavy rain and lightning darts

and yesterday’s storms were pieces of dark art

that passed through our hearts

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.

    1. Today was the first time i had seen this video of Van Morrison’s classic song… I found it by accident,.. and when I was watching it, I immediately became engrossed, and no hesitation in posting the video with my article…

  5. Your photo, your amazing poem, and that song/vid are a perfect trio, Ivor! 🙂
    You have brought joy and warmth and smiles to my day! 🙂
    The word-pics and emotions in this poem are vivid…and we can all relate to it…it helps us. A good reminder that the storms will pass…and we can learn so much from the storms and from our reactions to the storms.
    Wishing you a brand new day with bright sun, a gentle, breeze, blue skies, and dancing cotton-clouds, Ivor…outside in nature and inside in your beautiful heart!
    (((HUGS))) 🙂

    1. Thank you dear Carolyn for your thoroughly uplifting comments…haha.. spent the day stuck inside, because of the cold, wet, and windy summer’s day. But still enjoyed my day, I wrote this poem, which seems to be a really good one, I had a lovely live hook up with Gina in Kuala Lumpur, and managed to get most of my exercises done… ((hugs)) 💙🌏 and wow my Ruby Red Geraniums are stunning. 💕

      1. Of course! I’ve been MIA for a bit between thanksgiving and school stuff with my kids, so I have some reading to catch up on! Hope things are going well with you – sounds like your part of the world is doing a great job in eliminating the coronavirus.
