“On Halloween, the moon casts spells in silver.” — Ivorian folklore

Bright-eyed (a Haiku)


The Halloween moon
Bright-eyed in the twilight sky
No one saw you sigh

Ivor Steven (c) November 2025

High Flying (a Haiku)


A magpie zooms by
There’s no time to wave goodbye
A purposeful flight

Ivor Steven (c) August 2025

“Even shadow can shimmer—when seen in the right light.”




Feathers of Light (a Haiku)


The sunlit black crow
Glows under the brilliant sky
Dark feathers turn white

Ivor Steven (c) August 2025

A Foggy Morn (a Haiku)


The morning sun’s gone!
Opaquely hiding under
A grey linen sheet

Ivor Steven (c) August 2025

Today, I became a 74-year-old plumber, and when I came home, I tried to be a 74-year-old poet, with a “Blue Screen Computer”. Without going into the gory details, I had a lot more fun being a 74-year-old plumber.




Beyond Sight (a Haiku)


Good morning sunrise
I soak in daylight’s caress
Until eyes hear sound

Ivor Steven (c) August 2025

Winter Sun (a Haiku)

Serendipitous
Winter sun, brightens the sky
And the setting moon
