The Sky’s Silver Screen





The Sky’s Silver Screen

The storm’s bulging darkness
Has burst it’s bubble
Lashing me with fat drops
And sharp pieces of white rubble

Meanwhile
Low in the gloomy twilight sky
I see the sun’s Venetian slats of light
Develop into a radiant rainbow
Over the cloud’s crying eye

Then startlingly
The illustrious rain beans
Began to perform like glitzy stars
Dancing across the sky’s silver screen

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.

  4. What a beautiful poem filled with wonderful images and deep emotion, Ivor! I love it!
    Nature sure knows how to put on a show…often I think it is to get us Human-beans to slow down, take a deep breath, feel, AND be grateful we are alive to see the show. 🙂
    Lovely photos!
    Fabulous song choice!
    (((HUGS))) for you and Sir Frankie!! ❤️❤️❤️

    1. Thank you very much for your lovely words, Carolyn … nature sure put on a spectacular show, and there we were right in the middle of it, centre stage, and walking in the summer rain … we got drenched, but my imagination for words wasn’t quenched … I loved being able to snap the shots of the shiny rain drops … and I was ecstatic to discover Neil Young’s fabulous song … 💙📘🌏🌞😎🎵😍🐶🌈
