One Day, the Wild Wind Will Stop



We are back from our morning walkies
And Frankie is recovering on the lounge suite
He’s worn out from the blustery battering
By the gales that have been blowing all week

I ask Frankie
“When will these wild winter winds stop”
“Don’t ask me! You’re the one
with the fancy Computer”

Jolted by Frankie’s sarcastic remark,
I looked at the weather forecast
“Yeah, apparently the windy conditions
are going to moderate a little tomorrow”
“That’s good. Then I’ll be able to hear you
when you call me to come back”

He nods and smiles, recalling his sheepish excuse
for wandering off this morning
and did not return when I called him.
“Never mind Frankie, one day soon,
the wild wind will stop”
And slyly, he gives me that innocent doggie look!

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. Thank you for your thoughtful words, Michele … and yes, behind my whimsical conversation with Frankie, I am saying the “world’s problems” are still “Blowin’ in the wind” … 🤗🌏🐶☮️

  4. Aw! Sweet profound conversation! 🙂
    Hang in there Frankie AND Ivor! Yes, there are windy days and not windy days (literally and figuratively)…that’s life, that’s the way of the world. So we must brave those “windy times” and be grateful for the calm, peaceful times. 🙂
    I hope you two didn’t see Dorothy and Toto flying around! 😮 😀
    Always sweet photos of Frankie! 🙂
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
