Melting My Heart (a Tanka)

Happy Birthday Carole





Melting My Heart (a Tanka)

The white fluffy clouds 
Cannot stop the Autumn sun
From melting my heart
Around her bygone birthdays
Alas, the years keep passing

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 … and yes, a brilliant sunny autumn day for putting flowers at her resting … and now I’m enjoying a few quiet beers with friends (who all admired her) 😊🌏😍
