Memory Questions

Today I am presenting the “second” ‘5min’ poem that I wrote at Ali Grimsham’s ‘Writing Circle’ Zoom meeting, that I attended on Monday this week, and this was my 4rd session/week with the group, and I am having a delightful time. Here is the page link to get more information about the next writing circle. https://flashlightbatteries.blog/online-writing-circles/ Tickets by donation. All are welcome.


Memory Questions

Where do timeless memories dwell

Why don’t they stay in their padded cell

Where are the corridors of their whisper taunts

How do they escape the deepest of haunts

Why emerge on every celebration day

Who is in charge of the padlock today

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.

  9. Such a heart-touching trio, Ivor! The quote, your poem, and the music!
    Your poem poses some important questions…things I have pondered, too.
    Oh, those not-good memories do have a way of trying to dominate our minds.
    (((HUGS))) 🙂

    1. Thank you Carolyn.. Haha, I had lots of questions, but very few answers…. but we don’t have to know all the answers… to be able to still ask the questions is good enough for me… ((Hugs))

      1. Yes. And it’s good to ask the questions. Gets our brains a’pondering and our actions engaged. 🙂
        Plus it gets other people thinking in the right direction! Your poems are excellent at getting the rest of us thinking and feeling in great directions! 🙂

    1. Thank you Dwight, and I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you earlier… the publishing process of my book is consuming a lot of my time… and I know I have missed a few of your posts/articles lately… there seems to be only one Ivor over here in Geelong .. 😀😎
