Birds Sing Until Dusk (a Tu-aiku)





Birds Sing Until Dusk (a Tu-aiku)




Frost covers the path

Coldness freezes the birdbath

Bird feathers thaw fast




Spring’s about to start

Winter’s spirit did not last

Birds sing until dusk

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.
