Christmas Cake and Champagne






Christmas Cake and Champagne

Last night, I stumbled through the front door
With chocolates and shortbreads in my hand
Somehow, during our morning walkies,
A friendly Christmas Cake followed us home
Then I went to the Saturday Christmas Market
Where I sold three of my poetry books
Also, I purchased a bar of handmade soap
and a lovely painting of an old upright piano
For my sister’s Birthday on Boxing Day


When the Market Day wound down
Our Creative Geelong Makers group
Enjoyed a Christmas break-up party
With cheese platters and champagne
Then with my book trolley in hand
I managed to catch the last bus home
And again, I stumbled through the front door

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.
