A Slithery Moon

Hi readers and followers, today I am re-posting another “Moon”poem, but here in this introspective piece (March 2021), the moon seems to be slipping away from me …

A Slithery Moon


Sunday softy sings

Undone on the wind

For a drowning underling


Tiredness creeps in

Church bells ring

For more silent writings


Numbness drops a teaspoon

Eyes close for the afternoon

Awaiting a slithery moon

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.

  1. Some days are difficult and we await the moon. We know the moon will show up and never disappoint us. Thank you, Moon! 🌝 πŸŒ› 🌜
    That song always makes me cry…thinking of Andy Kaufman and how much laughter and joy he gave to the world. I was sad when he died…too young, too soon.
