Our Shy Half-moon

A warm autumn sky, a bright afternoon, and a half‑moon trying not to be noticed.

Our Shy Half-moon

In our sunny Autumn sky,
the afternoon’s silvery half-moon
is naturally simple to pinpoint.

Especically
if you study your moon-chart app’
before you dip your eyes
into the dazzling blue yonder.

But beware — do not stare.
Our daytime moon is rather shy
about being exposed
by the sun’s intrusive glare.

A bright little moon‑tune to echo beneath the daylight sky.

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.
