Blossom Over Jerusalem

Spring has begun and the trees are In blossom … this glorious spring day has prompted me to repost “Blossom Over Jerusalem” a poem that also appears in my book Tullawalla
Over at Weekly Prompts, for the month of September, the Colour Challenge is: Brown. Please visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> HERE … and here my poem captures the “brown” winter trees blossoming at the beginning of spring





Blossom Over Jerusalem


I write about the purple moon

That eats the night with a silver spoon

I write about the yellow sun

That bathes our day with gold by the ton


I hear the bird’s morning songs

They caress the world’s souls, right or wrong

I hear the animals’ mighty roars

They remind us of the great outdoors


I see the blue sky above

Where life’s white doves carry our love

I see the green pastures, beyond Jerusalem

Where life’s fruit trees blush with blossom

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.

  6. Gorgeous spring image and a lovely poem to accompany it.🙂

    Unfortunately, your pingback hasn’t worked… but it works as a link. Peter’s did exactly the same.

    I’d like to find out why, so please could you let me know how you you created the pingback? Was it from the page address or from the Permalink that I included on the post? Thank you, Ivor. 🙂

      1. I’m so sorry, I think it’s my fault. Brown has been used before as a challenge and the page title includes -/2 my Permalink doesn’t have the extension, though it worked well enough on my own pingback.
        I will add the extension to the Permalink. Would you mind trying again when I’ve added the extension. Thank you, Ivor 🙂
