Butterflies Before Sunset






Butterflies Before Sunset


Throughout my morning walk

There was a kaleidoscope

Of white butterflies

Fluttering over the trackโ€™s grassy verges


Smiling to myself

I thought of the nervous butterflies

Invading my inner system recently


Nothing serious

My tummyโ€™s flickering on a high

Impatiently waiting for a golden sunset

To reignite my weary poetic eyes

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. This is so so SO butterfly-wonderful, Ivor! Such beauty! Such emotion! ๐Ÿ™‚
    Butterflies from without…always a joy to see!
    Butterflies in the tummy…even they can signal a good thing sometimes.
