Today I’m Feeling The Air

I’m hooked on this song today, maybe because I’m another year older tomorrow, and I’m feeling I’m getting closer to where ever I’m going. It’s been a cold winter, and I’m feeling like a splinter in amongst the forest timbers, and my written words are only tear drops on the childrens cheeks.

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.

  1. Happy Birthday in advance Ivor! Hope you have a wonderful day and birthday year. I think you should get a head start on celebrating and let the party start now.

  5. As it is already your birthday there, although not for another 7 hours here (gets terribly complicated as we get older!!!) HAPPPY BIRTHDAY Ivor.
    Manly hugs, a peck on the cheek, and a slurp of wine to say have a great day. May the year ahead be full of good health, lots of laughs, oodles of poems and stories, the odd drink or two, shared with good friends and neighbours. Cheers!

      9. Sounds like your taking a Family Tour 🙂 I am sure both you and Tina will be heaven for 12 days.

        I read the review, it was the first review I’ve ever read about an opera (I’ve never been to an opera). Congratulations to April!!!

  8. Happy Birthday Ivor … I can only feel love and respect flowing from these comments above! You have had many losses but your presence blesses many here on WP and also in your local neighbourhood I’m sure. We are more than half way through winter … maybe book on a trip up north to enjoy the warmer climates … a real birthday treat 🙂

  9. My 4 1/2 yr. old Grandson, Benjamin, and I devote at least a half hour every day to reading books. Among our favorites are the Dr. Seuss books, the wit and wisdom is ageless. I could not decide which quote was best, so, I decided to offer both in honor of your birthday. “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is you-er than you.” And, repeat this out loud : “I am what I am! That’s a great thing to be! If I say so myself, Happy Birthday to me!” – Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel. I wish you a Happy Birthday and may all your wishes come true! Thank-you!
