Jumping for Joy (a Haiku)

Feature Image Above: My Haiku was inspired by Derrick Knight’s superb photo of the ‘Foal Jumping’ from his article earlier today >> https://derrickjknight.com/2023/07/16/hale-purlieu-and-godshill/

Pony and foal




Jumping for Joy (a Haiku)




Young exuberance

Prancing about joyfully

Knowingly, I smile

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.
