A Slithery Moon

Well readers, here I go again, another “Moon” poem …I hope you are still enjoying my moon theme week ….

A Slithery Moon


Sunday softy sings

Undone on the wind

For a drowning underling


Tiredness creeps in

Church bells ring

For more silent writings


Numbness drops a teaspoon

Eyes close for the afternoon

Awaiting a slithery moon

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.

  2. I have never thought of the moon as slithery. To me it is more slippery while my muse is slithery indeed! I have a hard time holding on to her and a harder time still resisting her enchanting ideas. πŸ˜‰

    1. An honest mistake Sue .. we had a violent storm and a power outage last night while I doing the first one and I lost internet connection ..
      So I redid the article this morning .. and then my computer suddenly discovered the original lost blackout article a couple of hours later 😊 ?? !!
