Don’t Blame the Moon

Over at Weekly Prompts, the Weekend Challenge is the word Pookie. Please visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here.
“Pookie” is a common euphemism for something cute. Well, I suppose my ‘strange orange rocks’ or my ‘smiling moon’ could be cute.





Don’t Blame the Moon

I see strange orange rocks
Among the fallen branches and leaves
Discerningly, time reminds me
They were not there yesterday

Enquiringly, I look up to the sky
And I see the moon smiling at me
As if to say, “Don’t blame me”

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. I’m really pleased you liked this one, Carolyn … it’s 9.00 Sunday evening here, I’ve been writing all weekend, and I’m almost exhausted [I must have rocks in my head – hence my whimsical poem] … I’ve been doing some ‘Anthology’ submissions … lots … there seems to be no rest for this old poet’s quill … so, I’ve done very little blogging lately … Oh well, I’m nearly finished, and I’ll be able to relax at the Cafe tomorrow … 💛🌏🌓😎📘🖋😍📃🐶
