leave before the stars arise a quiet moment at day s end with a strange familiar weight the sky unravels into its darker self before the stars arise the evening s curtain is half drawn long shadows spread across the lawn the hessian horizon resembled the dawn as the hazy sky turned a colour fawn meanwhile the bronze clouds groaned and yawned as though they d been wrongfully spawned and pawned then the world s breath grows taut and thin and the approaching darkness folds us in let the music carry the last light a little further into the evening ivor steven may 2026 posted on may 11 2026

descending in the hazy mid morning light the moon lingers above the trees as if carrying a memory too heavy to hold descending descending through the treetops the moon appears to stop pausing for a moment looking despondent naturally i ask why such a gloomy face only a millennium ago the earth was a jungle of trees but now i perceive only a fallow globe of woe the moon moves on whispering its sorrow to anyone willing to listen ivor steven may 2026 posted on may 9 2026 categories environment life nature music photos poems the moon tags environment life nature music photos poetry australia

silly old black angel featured image above a silly old black angel flapping through another strange day on earth this morning i sent this comment to gigi s post her unbelievable story truly blew me away her words sparked something in me and from that spark i shaped this composite poem here s the original piece that set everything in motion a very silly short story by rethinking life and gigi s reply afterwards said it all ivor that was wonderful can t thank you enough a very silly short story rethinking life i m a silly old black angel beauty is a thing everywhere but the definition changes constantly according to place and species maybe i m supposed to bring peace to earth but no one can do that this place is all crazy and there s no argument against the truth right life on earth is so unfair and i think i m supposed to do something about that too but i ve no idea everything seems so unjust i ll think about it later what if there is no later i suppose then it won t matter but does anything matter no i thought and then all of my words just kind of flew away a quiet place to land while the world keeps turning beneath my wings ivor steven may 2026 posted on may 7 2026 categories

moon lingered above geelong s blue sky a quiet witness to words exchanged between kindred writers today s poem gathers those fragments reshaped from comments left on their pages into one flowing verse

rengay the skeptic s kaddish stanza 4 kelley listening to johnny cash piano girl before the morning moon sets beware of crossing gravel paths they say ants wearing army boots are on the move crushing breadcrumbs and breaking straws micro power the mighty insects have their own claws and laws and know how to gnaw and undermine desert wars blackness hears our lies mountains pierce the sky sunlight kisses our eyes the seam becomes a stream the stream trickles into the river all rivers journey to the sea where all hearts rest peacefully memories do not fade they are sparkling pieces of jade let
