Flying High in the Full Moon Sky

Matilda shows me how to push start the flight …

Matilda takes me through the process of gliding into the sky … he made it look easy!!

“Our” full moon photos from tonight, 8.30 pm (just after sunset), 9.30 pm, 10.30 pm, and midnight.

In my poem below, Matilda and I are “expecting” to see the full moon tonight.



Flying High in the Full Moon Sky

 
 
During our walkies, this morning 
I enjoyed a friendly chat 
With Matilda the Magpie 

“Good morning, Matilda 
as you know, later today 
the full moon is going to be on show 
and I was wondering 
could I come and fly with you?  
for a clear aerial view” 

“You are more than welcome Ivor 
however, when was the last time you went flying?” 

“Five years ago, my friend 
when I flew to Philadelphia”  

“Oh, you will be a bit rusty 
and now you are a 72-year-old 
so best we have a practice run”

“Good idea, Matilda  
I suppose it is like riding a bike 
my wings will automatically remember  
how to give me a push start  
and then my gliding skills will return”  

I am pleased to say  
The training session went well 
Matilda and I 
Will be flying high  
Side by side 
In tonight’s full moon sky

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.

  12. This is another that I already commented on. Another disappearing act!
    I like the way the colours of your magpies are upside down compared to our magpies, I shouldn’t be surprised, after all, you are down under! Loving the poem too. 🙂
