A Special Poetry Day

To purchase his book, you can contact Jeremy through the following links >> http://www.jeremypalmerpoetry.com >> http://www.instagram.com/jeremypalmerpoetry >> http://www.facebook.com/jeremypalmerpoetry >>
A Special Poetry Day
A balmy Saturday afternoon
At the Analogue Academy commune
I have not been here to this special venue
Since the start of our world’s year of upheaval
I am attending Jeremy Palmer’s book launch
A poetry book aptly named “Poems of Pilgrimage”
The gathering is probably the maximum allowed
And there is friendly conversation buzzing from the crowd
I sense a clear aura of anticipation
As Jeremy’s readings become our minds hydration
His words are full of harmony and imagination
And he invites us into his heart’s instrumentation
And entertaining the mesmerized audience further
We listen to the glorious voice of a local singer
‘Arjuna’ has written a melody to one of his poems
A fitting finale to the day’s poetry emporium

Here’s a favourite poem of mine from Jeremy’s book

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.
