“Sorry”, is in this week’s Coffee House Writers Magazine edition.

Hello, dear readers and followers. I write for Coffee House Writers magazine (USA) fortnightly, and my poem “Sorry” (a Kyrielle) is in this week’s edition. …
To read the poem, please click the link below to visit my Coffee House Writers Magazine article.

A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the number of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.

Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.

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.

      2. With every breath we take
After our weary eyes awake
The existence of daybreak
Appeases our heartaches
And old fallen snowflakes
Remain softened and opaque

      1. You could not have done more. I feel guilty about Michael. I wonder if I did something wrong while I was pregnant, whether I trusted the doctors to much and gave him too many antibiotics and steroids. The real truth is that I kept him alive when the odds were stacked very high against him surviving. We have to recognize that such thoughts are wrong and recognize the truth.

  12. Such a heart-touching poem, Ivor! 😦 So relatable. So poignant. 😦
    Such a beautiful photo of beautiful Carole! 🙂

    I don’t know why that guilt has to sneak in so often…even many years down the road…and often at the weirdest times. 😦 No matter how much we do, we still feel we have not done/did not do enough. I was feeling that way recently about several of those in my life who have passed. One passed recently. 😦

    I honestly think they would say, “Oh, please don’t feel that way! Push away that guilt! I so appreciate all of your love, care, kindness (etc)!” 🙂

    1. Thank you kindly for all of your lovely about those ‘creepy-crawly’ guilt complexes that sneakily sliver and slide into subconscious thoughts … I know, and she knows, that I should not guilty, but every now and then the eggshells begin to crack … “then” I write about my feelings, and that has always been helpful self-therapy … Carolyn 😍📃📘💕🌏💜💙
