Above The Lamps (a Haiku)




Above The Lamps (a Haiku)



Up there in the clouds

Above artificial lamps

Sunlight blooms softly

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. Good timing to get that image of that moment, Ivor.
    To think there was once no artificial light, and once there was no light of fire . . . so far as we understand—a surreal imagining.

    1. Yep … Really Real …

      Really Real

      I’m hazily awakening from my afternoon slumber
      Hearing a summer thunderstorm pounding
      Wet, fat drops splattering the ground
      Greening the fields of Bensalem
      Eyes curiously opening, I’m drifting
      Floating upon a mystical cloud
      In a magical mist, where faeries live
      Happily dancing and prancing above my head
      Gently fluttering on the edges of my cosmos
      Sprinkling my body with stardust, blowing me kisses
      And granting my real dreams, reality wishes
