The Moon and a Cocoon





The Moon and a Cocoon

 
 
 
I see you staring down 

under your blue sky frown 

as I slowly arise  

from the mossy ground 

and shed my sleepy disguise 


Do not worry, Mr. Moon 

I have found your silver spoon 

and before the next monsoon 

I will eat my way out 

of this shady cocoon, 

cast aside any self-doubts 

and ignore all the high-noon lampoons

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.

  3. Oh, the moon! Such a faithful companion! 🙂
    Thank you for these lovely photos, your powerful poem and this heart-touching song, Ivor! 🙂 (That song always reminds me to be a cocoon for people…a safe place for them to be loved, to grow…even if they can’t stay forever.)
    I, too, find encouragement, hope, joy, peace (Etc) from just looking the moon. Sometimes I talk to the moon. Yes, we commune. 🙂
    (((HUGS))) 💛🌝🌛💛
