Peace and Quiet (a Tanka)

The bucolic outlook from our verandah table

A chirpy Magpie, and a Blue Fairy Wren heads for Frankies water bowl




Peace and Quiet (a Tanka)


Bucolically

Tranquility surrounds us

The cool air is calm

Peaceful enough for the birds

To fly in and visit us

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.
