The Impending Implosion

This afternoon’s quiet wait at the café, with Violet’s poem still echoing in my thoughts, stirred a darker reflection beneath the softening sky. These images and lines emerged as the light shifted and the world felt both beautiful and fragile.


Violet’s thoughtful little poem was the spark that set these lines in motion.

The Impending Implosion


Corruption and corrosion
Decimating nature’s frontlines
Ongoing repetitive ugly explosions
Nagging away at the senses of mankind
Ultimately, there’ll be a cataclysmic implosion






And in the hush between notes, the world feels both fragile and fiercely alive.

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.

    1. Your poem, Ivor, inspired by Violet’s, eloquently expresses the existential threat to democracy in my country and many others.

      I love the shape and the sound of your concise masterpiece!

      1. Oh, thank you so much for all of your lovely comments, Cheryl … at first it was a instant poetic response to Violet’s interesting poem, then later on I tweaked a few words, but basically it stayed the same, and I noticed if I centre aligned the poem, it formed the shape of a pyramid..🥰🌏🤗📖📘🎶
