Talking to the Moon


 
 
in my hazy bedroom 

it is unexplainable  

what I say to the moon 

and there is that secret 

unknowable connection 

an unmistakable tune 

received in an echoing response  

from my unattainable 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.

  4. Lovely poem, Ivor. Somehow, when I wake up in the middle of the night and go out and look at the sky, seeing the moon there lets me know all is well. I go back to sleep.

    All the best to you and Frankie as you commune with the moon! ❤ ❤ ❤

  6. Ooh, this is excellent! You know I love the moon! 🌝 Your photo, poem, and song trio are over the moon, Ivor! 🌛 I enjoy talking to the moon. Such a good listener. 🌜 Never interrupts. Never gives bad advice. Always makes me feel heard, comforted, loved. 🌚
    (((HUGS))) 🙂
    PS…I’ve written a few poems about the moon. 🙂

    1. I think it’s a new moon 🌚 on the 2nd Feb .. and he is full of listening then .. between talking to the moon and talking to Frankie during the day.. I am always occupied in conversation .. and then there’s Oscar the owl 🦉, and the happy Penguin Phillip 🐧 and I have a new little friend Sammie the snail 🐌 … I have a poem about him, but that’s at CHW for next week’s magazine “Do Snails Go To The Ballet?
      ((Hugs)) 🤗 and Woof woof for Coops from Frankie
      PS … I need a new hankie each time listen to the Bruno Mars 🎶😊🌏

      1. HA! Yes, I can relate! I chatter away to so many things in nature, and to Coops, and to inanimate objects even. 😉 I find it fun! 🙂
        YAY for Sammie! Can’t wait to read his poem! I think snails DO go to the ballet! 🙂
        Coop says Thanks, Frankie! 🙂 And sends woofs and pats and rubs back!
