A Blue Wonder

Featured Image Above: I received the photo from my niece, Jasmine, who lives interstate in Sydney. The photo is of an old painting of my wife’s (Carole) that I have not seen for 25 years … and a hearty thank you to dear Jazzy for locating and reframing Carole’s wonderful painting.


A Blue Wonder


“Blue hills or blue waves” 

I originally asked her 

“Whatever your eyes hear”  

She eloquently replied 


 

Yesterday, I received a keepsake photo 

Of an old painting of Hers, called “Blue” 

Today, the ocean’s deep blue 

Is where my veiled emotions lie 

Tomorrow, the alp’s serene blue 

Will covertly visit my soul

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.

  4. What a beautiful painting by Carole! Blues are just so soothing and peaceful.
    I’m so glad you got to see the painting again, Ivor!
    Your poem is the perfect pairing to the painting! You should send your poem to Jasmine for her to print out, frame, and hang next to Carole’s painting!!! What treasure the pairing would be!
    (((HUGS))) 💙💙
    PS…yes, RIP, Sinead.

    1. Thank you very much Kate … I had forgotten about the painting, let alone it’s whereabouts … so when my sent me the wonderful news I was ecstatic … they have moved house a number of times and the painting has remained stored away in a box with over non essential items … 🖼️🤗🌏📘😍
