My poem “Time Strolls” is up at Red Wolf Journal. I am grateful to the editors Irene and Tawnya for accepting this piece for their Fall anthology, ‘My Dream Of You’
Time Strolls
by Ivor Steven
I am no sleepy koala
Nor a pretty brolga
I am stoic and ancient, like Mount Olga
An old scribe from Tullawalla
You cannot feel my heart
Nor can you see my star chart
I am an astronaut without a spacecraft
An old pilot from the lost Ark
I am not flying alone in the dark
Nor will I swim among the hungry sharks
I am a dreamer fishing for humanities restart
An old disciple waiting to disembark
Ivor Steven was formerly an Industrial Chemist, then a Plumber, and has been writing poetry for 19 years. His book, Tullawalla, was recently published. He has had numerous poems published in anthologies, and on-line magazines. He is an active member of the Geelong Writers Inc.(Australia), and is a team member/barista with the on-line magazine, Go Dog Go Cafe (America).
Congratulations on the publication of this heartwarming, thought-provoking poem. We are all hoping for a “restart” about now. There are some hopeful signs. β€ Take care, Ivor!
