A Spinning and Swinging World

This afternoon, while lazing around at the Cafe
I could feel the world spinning around me
Oh, what a world I did foresee

My photos were taken last night, of Venus and then the Full Moon.

A Mapie begins his flight, a leaf is swinging in the breeze, and Frankie is the centre of my spinning world.

A Spinning and Swinging World




the cycle of nature

whirls around

like a spinning top

 

then slows down

at the equator’s plateau

pausing there

to swing on the world’s axis

 

either, swaying to the right

or leaning to the left

but always within reach

of life’s balancing point

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.
