Throwback Friday, A Universe Above the Sky


We were caught in the rain during our morning walkies, which prompted me to pick “A Universe Above the Sky” for today’s Throwback Friday Poem …


A Universe Above the Sky

Walking in the morning rain
Wearing water-logged boots
I am dodging millipedes
And hopping over the puddles
Along with the footpath crickets


I see a universe above the sky
As the liquid clouds
Drop their weight
Upon my empty hands
Filling them with verses
Of memories and rhymes

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.
