No Anchor, No Breaks, No Parachute!

I chose her second image, “a shot of a full moon, and in front of the moon, you can see a plane traveling!“




No Anchor, No Breaks, No Parachute!

“Hit the ground running,” they say
Well, I hit Monday
Without a ripcord
On my parachute
It mysteriously disappeared
Out of touch, out of sight
I think I left my ‘safety chute’
At the Market on Saturday

I’m only half finished
My new project,
Shangri La, Volume 14
“We desperately need
a coffee break”, I said to Frankie
So, down to the ‘Cafe’ we went!

This old poet had to relax
And slow down the adrenaline flow
“What goes up, must come down.”

Hopefully, when I crush tonight,
The landing will be a smooth one

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.

  8. Yes, in and around all of the activities and writing and creating…rest is a must…a coffee break is good, too! 😉 🙂
    Hope the landing WAS a smooth one for you and for Sir Frankie! 🙂 🙂

    PS…
    Hey, Frankie, while your Dad takes so many lovely photos, his photos of you are my faves! You always bring me joy! Sending much love and gentle pats and rubs to you! You are such a good boy! ❤️
