Bohemian Sky (a Tanka)






Bohemian Sky (a Tanka)

Between East and West
The sun rises and the moon sets
Lemon and silver
Embellishes the morning sky
Dawn’s unique moment stuns me

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. You are very kind Nancy … sometimes I struggle to find the right words to express what I see … this tanka took me a whole day to create … but I battle on, knowing that writing is mentally good for my continuing recovery from the drawbacks I suffered during my strokes … 😍😎🌏📘

      1. Then your progress is splendid, Ivor! The words of this tanka, specifically …. sun rises, moon sets, lemon and silver, embellishes, unique, stuns …. took my breath away. They are gorgeous, falling on my ear like little puffs of magic. A true delight, dear Ivor. 🤩✨💛
