Broken is Not a Token (a Senryu)


Once the heart’s broken

Kintsugi is a token

For the hurt spoken

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.

    I love Kintsugi! 🙂
    We humans are like mosaics. Our broken pieces fit together to create something beautiful. We each have a story worth telling.
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
