Follow The Leader (a Tanka)





Follow The Leader (a Tanka)




Spring grass is greener

The stems and stalks are taller

Nature’s endless gifts

Natural healthy fibre

My Doggies joyful pasture

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.

  17. That’s a very cute dog. It supports the message of following the leader, especially when you have the title of “follow the leader.” The poem was great too, but I would update the video since it’s showing up as unavailable. Thanks for sharing!
