Throwback Friday, Ripples of Inconsiderateness, by Ivor Steven

A poem I wote in November 2019, which is in my book Tullawala, on page 23.



Ripples of Inconsiderateness (Tullawalla, page23)


Today, an arctic wind blow’s

I have winter socks on my toes

Spring’s forgotten to fill our garden barrow

Cold rains are still falling on the meadows

And on the ranges, there is new snow

Here, the ripples on the bay steeply grow

Shoreline sands are stinging airborne ammo

Our midday sun, did fail to show

Like a ship’s stowaway hiding in the cargo

He’ll be found warming himself in Moscow

It’s time to unload our winter crossbow

Give summer a turn to be the star of the show
