My Mirrored Moon 






My Mirrored Moon 

 
 

Last evening, the midnight moon 

Infiltrated my room 

Like a mischievous raccoon


 

This morning, the sky’s silver moon 

Enshrined our blue lagoon 

With her debutant’s festoon

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.

    1. Yes I’m “moonstruck” Carolyn … I’m about to leave for funeral… it’s a long drive and my sister is driving me, and my brother will look after Frankie… today would have been uncle Brian’s 100th birthday … and I’ll be reading a little poem at the service

      “Happy Birthday Brian”

      Oine hundred years ago
      When the summer sun
      Rose for you
      Did the silver moon?
      Shine on you too

    1. Thank you, and that is precisely the image I was trying to create… our reflections are not always the same … the night is not always dark … the moon has a bright side and black side, …🌓🌏🤗
