Sunrise in MacArthur Park





Sunrise in MacArthur Park



We are in the middle of MacArthur Park
Where the morning sun
Irradiates the trees’ bark

Here, in the heartland
Dawn is more dazzling than normal
Glowing like a molten gold crucible

Shedding neon rays of sunshine
That stream through the tall pines
Like iridescent trumpet vines

Trumpet Vine, Solar Flare Bells

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.

    I read your poem two times (out loud) and both times I smiled and sighed. πŸ™‚
    Love the sun and trumpet vine comparison. πŸ™‚

    1. Oh wow, thank you very much for your wonderful comments, Carolyn … Funnily enough, I had the photos and the thoughts, but the poem took me 12 hours to write! … I suppose I was very tired after my whirlwind holiday … 🌞😍🌏😎🐢
