Wet Ground (a Haiku)
Sam the snail slithers
And slides over the wet ground
Clouds sound loud and grey

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.

“Clouds sound loud and gray” – certainly describes our current state. Loved the music.

I thought the same as VJ. Not a great state of mind to be in, but such a lovely phrase.

I find snails lovely and fun to watch! (And I love rain!)
Sam is handsome and loving his environment. We might say “he snailed it”. HA! π
He is a gentle reminder to slow down and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us in life. π
