Throwback Friday, Moon Shadows (a Tanka)

There was a Full Moon earlier in the week, and appropriately I have chosen “Moon Shadows” as my ‘Throwback Friday’ poem for today’s article.






Moon Shadows (a Tanka)



Both the evening moon
And the bright afternoon moon
Decorate my room
With gray slithery shadows
That dance across my pillows

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. It’s 5.00 am here and I know the moon is out there waiting for me and Frankie and my camera, but this old poet needs some more sleep … thank you for lovely words, Carolyn 🌔🌏📘😍💙💕🐶🎶
