Behind the Blinds, We Hear the Music





Behind the Blinds, We Hear the Music




We are relaxing at the Box Office Cafe

The rustic venue is nearly full

Despite the day’s wintry wind

Everyone is warm and comfortable

Behind the verandah’s new protective blinds


We are listening to a glorious song by Sigur Ros

Playing to a happy community gathering

At a bucolic open-air stage in Iceland

And the stirring concert auspiciously reflects

The collective ambience of our surroundings

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.
