Christmas Pudding and Pavlova


Dreaming of midnight rainbows

Illuminating the night’s rowdy crows

And I am hearing a tune of fat raindrops

Splashing upon my iron rooftop

Softly landing like pieces of strawberry pavlova

Gently followed by slices of Christmas pudding

Smothered in warm custard and cream

Then I see my sweet tooth faerie

Conducting the Nutcracker Pantomime

Where their symphony and my illusions combine

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.

  4. Gorgeous pastry, Ivor. Knowing your sweet tooth, I think it may not have survived long past the photo op! A very fun, lighthearted poem. ❤ I felt sorry for the musician, but she seemed very good-natured! Wonderful post! May the joy continue in the New year! 🙂

    1. I love Lisa Hannigan in this video, she’s really got herself into the fun of the show… Love her sense of humour at the end.. Of course it’s all about my sweet tooth for cakes, and having a tummy full cake of illussions.. 🎂😊🍰💙🌏
