Winter Solstice’s Pink Finale





Winter Solstice’s Pink Finale

From high above the trees
Nature decrees
Winter solstice is here
With zero degrees
And a frosty veneer

Above sunset’s finale archway
Nature celebrated the shortest day
With an extravagant display
Of twilight’s vibrant pink ballet

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.

  6. A beautiful vibrant pink ballet! 🩰 Gorgeous photos and a lovely verse. I wish I could send you some of our hot weather, dear Ivor. At 9AM, it was already 80ºF. By noon it was 85. It was a very strange morning …. the skies were dark gray, it was raining but not a single leaf was moving. The stillness was oppressive and the view outside our bedroom window was surreal. Around 10AM the thunder started. My grandmother liked to say thunder means the gods are angry. I’m sure the gods are very unhappy today. Big hugs to you and Frankie. 🐶💛🌏🧊💙🎶🖤🥵🌎💛🌧️
