Winter Sun

 At Weekly Prompts, the Weekend Challenge is the word, Discovery. Please go over and visit their fabulous site by clicking >> Here … and my poem below is in response to their prompt





Winter Sun



What my careless eyes perceived

My unprepared senses

Soon discovered, they were deceived

The day appeared sunny enough for a stroll

And I ventured into the afternoon cold

Ten steps out, a glacial wind took hold


The sharp Antarctic blast

Snapped every limb within grasp

My breath turned into icy glass

My ears were stabbed by frigid darts

My cheeks were slapped by gloves of frozen brass

And the winter sun failed to warm my heart

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. Very rare to snow in Geelong because we are by the bay and not far from the sea … my mum said it snowed when I born “72” years ago … 🥶🌏😍

      3. Always windy on the coast.
        Snowed the day I was born too. my dad walked over twelve miles to my aunt’s house (where i was born) carrying a sack of coal on his back because the coal wagon couldn’t get through the thick snow!
