Throwback Friday, Shadows Fall (a Musette)

Today’s Throwback Friday is from January 2023, and I selected the Musette to coincide with the ‘Magpie shadow’ photos that I took on Thursday afternoon




Shadows Fall (a Musette)


Don’t stop
Do not look back
Leaves drop

Shadows
Do not dig up
Meadows

Walk tall
Don’t look beyond
Nightfall

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. Your gorgeous photos of the magpies and their shadows are beautiful and powerful! 🙂
    Your vivid word-pic poem ignites my senses and my emotions! 🙂
    Always a joy to be enveloped by a Mr. Cave song. 🙂 He creates such emotionally intense AND important songs.

  9. Love the musette and the photos are fab! I’ll have to try my hand one day 🙂

    Excellent tune, as well. Do you know you have introduced Nick Cave to quite a few bloggers?
