Coffee House Writers Magazine features my new poem, “Is My Horizon Unreachable?”


Hello, dear readers and followers. I contribute to Coffee House Writers magazine (USA) every second week, and I’m delighted to share that my latest poem, “Is My Horizon Unreachable?” appears in the new issue. You can read it by following the link below.
>> Is My Horizon Unreachable? – Coffee House Writers


Some moments arrive with a kind of stillness that asks you to look a little longer. Today, the sky was crossed with dark, wiry lines and the slow sweep of wings, each moment carrying its own quiet message. As I followed those shapes toward the brightening horizon, a poem began to form — unplanned, but insistent — rising out of the light which was beyond my reach.




Beyond the last pylon, let the music carry you the rest of the way toward that unreachable light.

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.

    Wonderful, ponderful poem, Ivor! YAY for it being insistent! 🙂
    Congrats on it being published with CHW magazine! 🙂
    The image/photo and your poem are a powerful, inspiring duo! Yes, being watchful for that “shimmering golden light”. Just to see the light, even if we can’t touch it, is encouraging and hopeful. 🙂
    Also, what a beautiful, powerful music/video choice by Sólstafir! I researched about the song some… 🙂 “…and the moon lighted a path, yes the moon high in the sky…” 🙂
    (((HUGS))) 💛💛💛
