Throwback Friday, Really Real

After the Easter of 2019 (not long after spending 3 months in the hospital, recovering from 2nd & 3rd strokes’), I traveled to Philadelphia and Bensalem, for that “Really Real” adventure of a lifetime.
A big thank you to “All of My Family” in Philadelphia for a magically memorable escapade.





Really Realย 

Iโ€™m hazily awakening, from my afternoon slumber
Hearing a summer thunderstorm pounding
Wet fat drops splatter the ground
Greening the fields of Bensalem
Eyes curiously opening, Iโ€™m drifting
Floating upon a mystical cloud
In a magical mist, where faeries live
Happily dancing and prancing above my head
Gently fluttering on the edge of my Cosmo
Sprinkling my body with stardust, and blowing me kisses
And granting my real dreams and reality wishes

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.
