Throwback Friday, The Moon and a Cocoon


Today’s Throwback Friday poem is from May 2025, and to coincide with my upcoming trip to Canada, I altered the last 3 lines.



The Moon and a Cocoon (Revised)

 
 
I see you staring down, 
under your blue sky frown, 
as I slowly arise  
from the mossy ground 
and shed my sleeptime disguise. 

Do not worry, Mr. Moon-
I have found your silver spoon, 
and before the next monsoon, 
I will eat my way out 
of this shady cocoon,
untether my hot-air balloon, 
fly across the big, blue lagoon,
and avoid all the high-noon lampoons.




Only 3 weeks and 5 days to before my Canadian adventure begins, so I thought I would post both a Nick Cave and a Beluga Lagoon music/video

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.

  5. You are having way too much fun with those end line rhymes, Ivor! I am reading a book set in 1930’s Appalachia and they call the daytime moon the children’s moon- just an interesting piece of information.
