An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Beyond Reach (a Haiku)
The morning sky felt like an open canvas, and the birds rose into it as if painted there — framed by light, archived in motion, and forever just beyond our human reach.
Beyond Reach (a Haiku)
Shadows on the sky Bird silhouettes hover high Beyond human reach
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.

Gorgeous haiku and beautiful music. I love the idea of sky shadows; brilliant poetry, my dear friend. 💙🐦⬛📝🎶
Your bird photos perfectly capture soaring, freedom, and joy! 🙂
Your Haiku paints a beautiful image…birds and sky were made for each other. 🙂
Your song choice is a powerful reminder to care about the environment and all wildlife. 🙂
(((HUGS))) and ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve always thought of birds as being free creatures. Of course, they aren’t really as humans control their habitat and many have become endangered. It’s a nice fantasy though.

Thank you, Robbie, and yes, hopefully one day ‘us’ humans might stop being control freaks …

I think it’s more likely humans will destroy themselves as a species. The earth will eventually recover, greatly changed, but it will go on.
