An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Herculean Moon
The Wednesday challenge on Weekly Prompts is; HERCULEAN. Please go over and visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here , and below is my response to the prompt.
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.

Thank you dear Carolyn …. I took the photo last night whille walking home from my neighbours place (12 steps) and the moon was so bright bright from behind the clouds, then I saw that “Herculean” was the word on Weekly Prompts” … and then I thought, why not call “our” moon Herculean …. Oh that Waterboys song’s live version is a great fav’ of mine … 🤗🌏😍🌒😉💙
