This is a poem I wrote last November, from a time when I was hospitalised with horrendous headaches and fevers. Hopefully this time the bad headaches have been curtailed early enough to avoid a repeat of last year’s situation….
Hysteria
Yesterday’s ancient graves
Sent me a parting wave
Passing the higher fools
Leaving me to drool
My body was shivering
Bones were rattling
My leftovers are for the taking
Mum’s sponge-cake is baking
I need a change of attitude
A party at high altitude
Up here on level seven
Close to heaven
I could invite my unknown bacteria
Sing along with Leonard, sharing hysteria

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.
