An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
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.

Beautiful, soft, pastel photos Ivor. They go so well with your lovely poem. And I had to listen to this version of my favourite Neil Young song. – so good!
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. 🙂

I love being on the beach on nights with a full moon- depending on which moon it is- it can feel like the ‘streetlights’ are on! This was beautiful.
