Magnetic West



Magnetic West

Adrenaline flow has trickled to a stop

My wildest dream has cascade over the top

I have dizzily had my head in the clouds

My mind is now frazzled and proud

Best I slow down and rest

Away from my magnetic writing desk

Sit at my refuge, the Box Office Cafe

A place to relax and enjoy a coffee

Where I can be tempted by their cake selection

The banana and coconut slice tastes close to perfection

And I will have a convivial chat with my friends

My Dragon, the wise owl Oscar, and Phillip the penguin

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. Yes.. one of those photos that I stick my little furry friends on, and I then scan the pic again… It takes a bit of time, but I enjoy the creative process, and the results always make me smile..
      Yeah, Mike Nesmith.. one of the “Monkeys”, and I have the old vinyl LP, “Magnetic South”
      Haha, but my magnetic Café is in West Geelong, so I had to call my poem “Magnetic West”

      1. I had heard that another new variant of the virus had been found but I thought it was just in the Perth area.

        I hope you are out of lock down soon. At least Australia wastes no time and moves quickly to nip it in the bud. 🙂
