Grasshoppers’ Hallelujah
At night, it’s my time to bleed
As I’m slowly going to seed
My video picture’s blurred
I’ll take my film shaken, not stirred
There I was, crawling on dirty paws
When my dream drifted into pause
An impostor interrupted my show
As I was climbing Mount Kosciuszko
Bathing there in warm winter snow
Waiting for my spring flowers to grow
I’m overseeing the green valley below
Where bees and dragonflies are buzzing to and fro
Tree ferns are shading the moist forest floor
I see faeries singing from under the Sycamores
And they’re dancing to music that sounds familiar
A classic song by the whistling caterpillar
Accompanied by the violin tunes of grasshoppers
And I hear the mystical rhythm of nature’s Hallelujah

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.
