A Frollick of Forest Faeries 


 
Wandering through the mysterious wilderness 

I glimpsed a shimmering flicker 

From within the woods somewhere 

Startled, I stumbled and fell forward 

There before me, was a glimmering black door 

And the shiny silver padlock was ajar 

Curiosity beckoned me to enter 

Such a baffling anomaly 


Jittering, I cautiously stepped inside  

Unexpectedly, splosh, my boots became soaked 

I had waded into a small babbling stream 

Below a softly gurgling cascade 

And there, elegantly fluttering  

Above the brooks mossy rocks 

A frollick of forest faeries 

Magically emerged to fervently welcome me

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.
