This Weeks Throwback Friday poem at “Go Dog Go Cafe” is “Lines To Nowhere” from November 2018

Over on my website, I have recently re-posted two of my older poems from a timeΒ threeΒ years ago, when I was beginning aΒ threeΒ month stay in hospital. I was originally suffering from a βmysteryβ virus, and then I had a stroke, followed by another minor stroke. β¦ Somehow I managed to write about thatΒ threeΒ month journey via my poems, and today Iβm presenting a poem I wrote from my hospital bed during the second week of hospitalisation.
Lines To Nowhere
My curtains were opened
I saw a setting eclipse
And I decided to walk
To the south side of the moon
Taking my own spoon
I heard thereβs a cheese-cake tasting
A sweet crumbly base
Topped with blueberries and cream
Lifeβs not about lying in bed
Iβll meet you for a kiss
After school
Down by the old pool
Ivor Steven (c) October 2018
Gβday, and welcomeβ¦

That is a completely brilliant poem Ivor! I’m afraid that my recent tour of local hospitals with regard to my variable heartbeat didn’t produce any poems as good as this…..
