Throwback Friday. Tall Ships, An Encore, by Ivor Steven

My poem that I wrote 2 years ago “Tall Ship, An Encore” is up on ‘Go Dog Go Cafe’,… ironically my words seem very poignant, during our current circumstances

Go Dog Go Café

My poem “Tall Ships, An Encore” appears in the published book, Geelong Writers Anthology, Writeabout-Two,  2019 edition

Tall Ships, An Encore

Search the empty stores

Discover the final score

Before I’m too old and poor

Let me go, let me soar

Fly me to my encore
