Thor’s, Boom Crash Opera


 
 
The sky looks like a wall

of blue-stone blocks

Ominous and motionless

With flashes of lightning

Bursting out of the cloud’s

solar plexus


Emblazoned by Thor’s

Thunderous bass drums

His raucous crescendo

Echoed like an aborted,

boom crash opera

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.

  4. Wonderfully poetic storm, Ivor. And thanks for reminding me Boom Crash Opera was real (and pretty good). Every once in a while the name pops into my head, usually during a storm and not when I can look them up, so I was thinking they were a false memory! 😁

  5. That looks like a moody and powerful storm! Glad you two got home safe!

    Powerful poem, Ivor! Great word-pics! Great title! You got our senses ignited…we can hear, see, and feel the storm. Storms can sound musical. 🙂

    Cooper used to hate hearing the thunder…he would jump up on the nearest lap to be comforted. 🙂 But now that he’s a well-seasoned pup, with not as keen of hearing, he can’t hear the thunder as well as he used to.

    How are you feeling today, Ivor?
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    1. It’s still warm & Salty today but no storms (I think) … 9.30 am and I’m just awake, I’ve had another big sleep in … yep I am still feeling super tired 😴 … but my blood sugar levels are now gradually coming down … the storm is a bit like me at the moment … dark and motionless , and I’ve so much on between now and Christmas … open mic tonight … another twilight market tomorrow … a Christmas party for the ‘Dome’ poets group on Sunday morning … another Christmas party for ‘lowercase’ poetry group on Sunday afternoon … and that’s only in the next 4 days … it’s time for me to put on Christmas faerie gear and sprinkle some faerie dust over myself and get myself into action for the festive season 😊🌏😍🧚🎶🐶❤️🎅

  8. Hi Ivor, your posts jump to the top of my feed two or three times – do you know if that happens if you edit for example, or is there a setting you’ve used?
