Full Moon Rising

In the hush of a calm bay, the moon lifts above the palms as if ready to whisper its small truth to the night.





Full Moon Rising


There is a hush in the air
Below the full moon’s stare
Silence is golden
Eveningtide unfolding
The bay is dead calm
As the moon glares
Through Rippleside’s palms

“Why look at me
I’m only a tiny spirit
in the universe’s eternal sea.“

“Scan beyond your sandy quay
to find your celestial key.”

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. Okay, sorry, but Full Moon Rising is the theme song for the werewolf film American in London (I think it twas London) and now I can’t get the song out of my head and I keep seeing the Werewolf. It’s a great poem. 🙂

    1. Yes, Frankie, loves those full moon twilight evenings too. We went down to the bayside to take the full moon photos, and got some great shots, and with Frankie’s help, the poem quickly developed from there, Carolyn 🐶🌏💙🌖📃📘🎵🥰
