Throwback Friday, Sundown’s Flight


Last week, my poems were about nature’s theatrical light shows, and today’s Throwback poem is a very appropriate choice. Originally written in August 2019, and as is my way, I have rehashed my poem …



Sundown’s Flight


When I’m physically able
And feeling stable
I like to stroll down my dead-end lane
And study the sky’s weather vane


I see twilight clouds on the run
Being corralled by the setting sun
Shredding prisms of light, tonight’s benediction
Bright orange and grey, tomorrow’s ritzy prediction
From the horizon’s flamboyant ballet
A jazzy indication that storms are on the way


Then the shadowed treeline, merges with the cloudy red kites
And I stand here witnessing sundown’s dazzling flight

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.

  4. Absolutely gorgeous photos and poem and such a powerful vid/song!
    Your poem is filled with vivid word-paintings ( 🙂 ) and deep emotion.
    Nature sure knows how to put on an awesome show. And you know how to capture it in poem, Ivor! Splendid! 🙂
    Most of the past couple months, we’ve been consistently having afternoon/or evening rain showers…I love it! 🙂
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️

  7. Last week’s poems celebrated nature’s dazzling light shows, and today’s Throwback piece from August 2019 feels like the perfect follow-up, reflecting my ever-evolving poetic style.
