Imaginary Bookcases and Bootlaces

In the absence
Of any commonsense
I’m here talking in mime
About my memories and rhymes
From behind my imaginary bookcase
And wearing a quirky poet’s face

This is my ordained place
Where I bravely embrace
The unpredictable pace
In this dysfunctional race

Then I cautiously retrace
My creations’ underground faces
From the days of waterlogged bootlaces

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. Thank you, Nancy … I didn’t sell any books, but as my poem indicates, we had a thoroughly enjoyable day and Frankie has quickly become the ‘Markers’ star attraction 🐶😍📘🌏

  6. Such great photos! Sounds like an enjoyable day for you and Sir Frankie! 🙂
    Such an intriguing poem with brilliant memorable images/word-pics and vivid emotions!
    And talk about vivid images…that Lord Huron song is haunting and heart-touching.
    (((HUGS))) and hope you and Frankie can rest ups! ❤️❤️❤️

    1. Frankie rested after our morning walkies, but I had a ‘Dome’ poetry meeting to attend, and after lunch I had to do 5 poems/haiku for a Haiku Anthology … yes! I’m always submitting stuff, Carolyn 📘📚🌏💕
