Wishing Tree 

On Monday morning (Sunday afternoon PDT), I attended a Writing Circle Poetry Group via Zoom with our host/convener, the gracious Ali Grimshaw >> https://flashlightbatteries.blog/online-writing-circles/ and after listening to her recite a selected piece of poetry, we are then encouraged to write our own poetic response in “6 mins” … mine was a rough draft, and here is my completed poem.


Wishing Tree 


 

I spend my time with words 

My time is not just about words 

My words evolve from my thoughts 

My thoughts are the fruits  

Of my life’s Wishing Tree 


Faded wishes and lost dreams  

Of where my heart has been 

New wishes and dreams  

Of what my soul is trying to achieve 

My time is not just about words

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.

  13. Nice! Your poem reminds me of tree in ancient Indian scripture it is believed we are and deed are nothing but leaves of an inverted tree which has its roots in another world. Similar to banyan tree.
