Talking to a Restless Moon


On this scorching afternoon
I spoke to a restless moon
He said,
“The sky’s blue balloon
has been treacherously harpooned
by a scary orange buffoon
who openly sucks on his own dirty silver spoon
and be warned, no one is immune”

Since then, I’ve been lying low
But soon I’ll need to leave my hot bungalow
And fly forward to a safer and cooler tomorrow

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.

  2. I love the photo of Frankie and your restless moon poem. My little farm here in Yorkshire could use a little of your heat. Our thick snow is frozen solid, and the temperature is heading to minus10°C (14°F) this evening. Thank you for taking part in our challenge, Ivor. 🙂

  4. We’re freezing here in NY, dear Ivor. It’s currently 20ºF and the cold winds are blowing like crazy but seeing sweet Frankie warms my heart. 🐶 🤎
    Dreadful wildfires in California making the area of Los Angeles look like a war zone. It’s now turned deadly; such as awful tragedy. 🙏🏼
