Throwback Friday, Standing On the Edge of Time

Today’s Throwback Friday poem, written in December 2022, was inspired by a Geelong Writers Inc. Ekphrastic Photo Prompt (see above image)


Standing On the Edge of Time

Am I dreaming
Sprawled across Saturn’s rainbow rings
Wishing
I was there
On the edge of Jupiter’s
Multicoloured volcanoes
Observing the chromatic universe
Through my kaleidoscopic eyes

I am here
Standing on the edge of time
Above Tower Hill’s dormant crater
Overlooking a picturesque valley
Of blue lakes and
Multicoloured forests

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.
