Dry Eyes (a Micro Poem)



The enthusiastic blackbirds
Faithfully re-enact
Their daily rain dance
However, nature’s lingering clouds
Have forgotten how to cry

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.

  7. Fabulous photos! What a bird! 😮 🙂 (In your first photo, that bird is like the star on the top of a Christmas tree! 😉 )
    Powerful, evocative, emotion-stirring poems…Eugi’s poem and your poem, Ivor! 🙂
    Hope more rain falls soon. 🙂
    Ms. Joplin’s music/voice always stirs my emotions, too, and touches my heart and soul. 🙂
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️

    1. Thank you for wonderful words, Carolyn … Janis was a favourite of Carole’s 🎶😍 … the birds 🦅 were putting on a show for me, and imagined their flighty tricks to be a “rain dance 🎶🤗😍🌏💕🐶

    1. Oh, I’m totally jealous, Janis never toured down our way, due to her demise … my poem was totally inspired by the blackbirds (crows) putting on a flighty show me, and poetically I imagined they were doing a rain dance in the sky … there will be some rain next week 🦅📖😍🌏🎶🐶😊

  13. A delightful poem about our fine-feathered friends, Ivor. Blackbirds are beautiful if you can see them up close. Their feathers shimmer with various colors. I loved Janis, and we lost her too soon. 💗
