An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Our Blushing Star (an Epigram)
This is my 2nd Epigram poem and ‘I think” my piece qualifies as an Epigram format … If there is a literary reader/poet out there reading my poem, I would be glad to receive some advice.
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.

An interesting poem. I’ve not heard of this format before.
I looked up definitions on this poetry form, and it seems they generally agree that it is small and focuses on something specific with irony, wit, and/or satire.
