Did You Hear The Full Moon Sing?
Yesterday, spring arrived
Last night, a full moon ignited the sky
Today, warmth arose from the earth
Everywhere I walked
Nature stood there bountiful and proud
Everywhere I looked
Nature displayed her colourful shrouds
I saw a glossy black pony
Glowing in the paddock moonlight
And a garden of purple flowers
Bouncing in the sunlight
I saw tree-house sanctuaries
Homes for mystical faeries
And hollowed out logs
Comfy beds for spiders and frogs
Tonight, nature’s mockingbird will sing a lullaby
Tomorrow, the universe will hear no lie or alibi
Ivor Steven (c) October 2021

Such a whimsical and magical poem Ivor

“My Universe”
Inside the clouds
Comes the secret of the rain
Outside, the sky
Reflects the oceanβs colouring veins
Within the sun
Burst, undying corona rays
Overhead, the moon
Casts shadows night and day
Underneath, thereβs the earth
Orbiting, in charge of seasonal change
Nearby, thereβs Venus and Mars
Planets without smog and cars
Above, thereβs the stars
The universeβs infinite mountain range
