The Weather’s Like a Boomerang

The Weather’s Like a Boomerang


Saturday afternoon

We are stuck in the lounge room

Talking to the idiot-box

Outside there’s a winter monsoon

And the rain-god’s drops

Are as big as tablespoons

Full of crushed ice-blocks


Our day of play has gone

Tweedily tweet! The cuckoo sang

“Time to yawn

until tomorrow’s dawn

while waiting for tonight’s moon

to throw the next boomerang”

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.

  10. Winters will, get colder and colder by the years, and, there will only be, more heat that comes, during summertime, and, we all need to stay cool, so, we crank up the A-C, or, because it’s too cold, we need to, use the, heaters even more, and, all of that emits more, carbon, which causes global warming to, get, worse and, worse, there’s no, effective way, to, reduce the carbon, emissions, unless we all get, taken out by, nature’s, forces here.
