The Sun Wins Again (a Tanka)

An Early Walkie
“I know, you’ve just woken up
Frankie, it’ll be hot
today, just like yesterday”
The blazing sun wins again

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 is getting warm here, Ivor. I took my walk in late afternoon, and I was still a little too warm. Soon, I will have to walk in the morning! 😎 But you are heading into cooler weather. Frankie will be pleased! 🐶💕❤️

    1. Thank you for your wonderful comments, Cheryl … it’s going to be very warm for another 7 days, and 100′ F, on Saturday for my monthly Market Day. Hopefully, it will be cooler for Clunes Booktown Festival on the 22nd & 23rd of March …

  4. So glad you and Frankie get out for your walks before it gets too hot. 🙂 Can’t be too careful.
    Will it cool down any time soon?
    We’re still having days of rain and snow. I was thinking today about how much little old Coop always enjoyed the snow days and the cool days. The hot days he was not a fan of.
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
