Throwback Friday, Cocoons of Hope

Today’s ‘Throwback” poem, from September 2020, will appear in my upcoming new book “Until Eyes Hear Sound” … It’ll be the 1st poem in “Chapter 3. Nature and Existence”




Cocoons of Hope


the wizard’s blizzards have melted

dormant cocoons are wriggling

spring has exploded

out of the starter’s gun

with an awakening bang

and the chirpy blackbirds

are chorusing a different tune

their winter blue songs have gone

suddenly, warmth and sunshine

muster in the air

heralding a new season

of hope and prosperity

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. I remember this poem of yours, Ivor! ‘Tis a fave of mine! The images of birth, growth, newness, warmth, etc., bring us joy, peace, and, yes…hope! πŸ™‚
