Hello readers and followers, today I am continuing with my theme of “Moom” poems, and if need to have a chat with me, “I am up here floating on the moon”
Hello readers and followers, … my “Moon” poem theme continues today with a repost from September 2019, and I hope you are all enjoying my collection of “Moonolgues”
A Midday Moon
Surprise, surprise, up there in the sky
Hidden by the glare, of noon’s golden eye
I saw the moon, being cradled by the midday sun
There, glowing like a silver button
As hundreds of human’s passed me unawares
I was staring in wonderment, at our worlds brightest stars
The sun’s white ray’s, wore soft gloves of silk
And the moon was like a baby, enjoying mother’s milk
Hello dear readers and followers, … yes I am still suffering from “Moonbeam Dust” in my eyes, and here is another “moon” poem of mine that I originally wrote in March 2020 …

To The Moon And Back
Well, say hello spring
You’re certainly flashing us your everything
A warm mild morning
Followed by midday sunshine
Then suddenly a wild storm
Lightening and heavy rain
Windy squalls, umbrella’s flying
And down the fat hail came
While the dark sky opened his jaws
I wondered if it was like this
On our faraway moon
So without further ado
I jettisoned myself there
Soaring into space
I left this human race
Just for a short time, anyways
I journeyed to the art gallery
Displaying a real moon show
Wilderness photos from yesteryears
Bold colourful impressions
From out of this world
Ancient traditional stories were also told
Old-time moon movies, on the big screen
Bold sculptures, of every shape imaginable
And a moonscape, seen through artist eyes
The wondrous afternoon escape, was my prize

There was a full moon last, so I thought my poem from June 2019 was an appropriate piece for this weeks ‘Throwback Friday’
Moon Blossom
The old moon knows
After a bitterly cold winter
There’s never a false spring
And Eve’s apple tree always blossoms
Then the full moon shyly shines
Casting moon-shadows upon sacred ground
And asks about the planet’s fading designs
“Where have all the ancient spirits gone”
However, the new moon remains alluring
And his moonbeams spoon our imagination
Yellow ripples shimmering across blue lagoons
Casting moon-shadows over lovers bedrooms
And love eventually conquers us all
When moon blossom ringlets gently fall

Coffee House Writers I Feel The Sky “Ivor takes us beyond quarantine and refreshes our eyes to the world around us.”
I Feel the Sky
I am creating a verse from beyond my cage
Here, surrounded by the essence of a new age
Spring blossom floating on a sea of loose pages
Soaring on the wings of yesterday’s paper darts
I was finding words in unusual places
On dirty microwave plates
Under shaggy-pile carpets
Between last night’s lonely sheets
And walking down empty streets
Inside the Box Office Cafe, I sit
Observing the world below my feet
An old wooden floor of weathered planks
And table bases made from engine cranks
On the open verandah I can feel the sky
And I write on the blank skyline
About today’s invisible freedom, before my ink runs dry
Today while I was writing this poem a wondrously magical coincidence happened to to me via my Instagram Site… I received an article from a Geelong singer/songwriter, Arjuna, the her new song was up on YouTube, and the title of her brand new single is“Vessel” … and of course I have attach her music/video as my feature song below .. .. and congratulations to “SheIsAjuna” on her fabulous song.
