Hi Dear readers, today is my 6th day in China, and the first time I’ve had a consistent Wi-Fi connection.
Walk To The Moon
I did walk on The Great Wall
The Wall can be seen by a man on the moon
Well look at me now, Neil
Here I am on top of the World
And I saw a hole in the wall
Crouching down low, I peered
Through a bluestone window
And what did I espy
I saw another piece of the Wall
A guardian tower, standing tall

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.

He did jump the wall
Only to later fall
Chinese took up the call
Now they stand a billion tall
