Throwback Friday, Connected

Today, my Throwback Friday poem was originally inspired by the three photos in my article … The photos were all taken by Derrick Knight, who kindly allowed me to reproduce them here for my poem “Connected” …
The poem also appears in our collaborative Book of Poems and Photographs, “Perceptions”, on page 19.

Connected


up there

under draconian dark clouds

I see a blue moon rising

gracefully shrouding the horizon

meanwhile

back here

on terra firma

woodland autumn leaves are

colourfully crowning her mounds

where nature’s

unruffled fauna are found

gratefully grazing upon her

wounded ground

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.

  6. You painted, two totally, different pictures of here vs., there, and now, all you need to decide is, where, you want to, go. Or, you can, always, go with, nature, she’s never going to, do you, wrong…
