Over at Moonwashed Musings, Eugi’s Weekly Prompt is: Phenomenons … and for Weekly Prompts the Wednesday Challenge is: Coincidence … To visit Sue & Gerry’s fabulous site, please click on >> Here My poem “Phenomenal Anomaly” coincides with both of the “Prompts”
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.

So beautiful Ivor. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend, 💕
sorry for your loss. It is a hard thing to lose a friend. I still feel sadness for my friend who died to young back in the mid 80s from a car accident. JT was his name. John Thomas. We worked together at Texas Instruments in Dallas. He was a good friend and a good person. I miss him dearly.
Beautiful and poignant, Ivor. I am so VERY sorry to hear about the death of your friend. 😦 ❤️
He will remain in your memories and in your heart. Friends Forever. 🫶💕
I hope he, and his life, was celebrated.
(((HUGS)))
PS…That new Beatles song/vid is amazing. 🙂 I so enjoy watching it. But it gets me a bit teary-eyed for a number of reasons.
Oh that Beatles got to me too Carolyn, and was so appropriate for my poem … and thank you for your words … he was a friend to everyone in our community, a truly phenomenal character … 🌝💕
