One Day, or: Bless My Soul


Today’s poem was my inspired poetic response to David’s “Sijo”, ‘Of all things, or: Bridge to nowhere’. >> https://skepticskaddish.com/2025/03/28/of-all-things-or-bridge-to-nowhere/

One Day, or: Bless My Soul



Beneath our feet, there lies a common mound
Between our ears, the winds of time hear no sound
Below our eyes, the promised land cannot be found
Within our hearts, we share the lost and drowned

Beyond our souls, the world’s burial grounds
Belong to the hounds, who run the battlegrounds

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 for your kind words, Nancy … I suppose my words are an expression of my frustrated feelings about how the world is dominantly ruled by corporate greed 🌏☺️😧

  6. Such a powerful important message in your poem that we can all relate to. We feel your emotions coming through in each line and we understand how you feel…because we feel the same way. So frustrating and sad.
    The gorgeous nature you captured in your photos gives me hope.
    That song is a great choice in this posting-trio.
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️

    1. Thank you for your special words of encouragement, Carolyn … I’m so pleased you understand what I’m trying say … I usually like to be positive, every now and then I just have to say something about those “hungry hounds” whose greed outweighs their needs … 😊🌏📖📘🐶😍☺️
