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.

I love some of the whimsical things that I write in my comments to other writers works. It makes me smile too. And I’m getting quite conscientious at putting them in my Computer Notebook now.
Feeling whimsical, Ivor ?

Those first 2 lines could be a worldwide mantra these days.
And some days I’d love to shout the “let me be” part too!!!
