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.

Some perfection here. I’m sober and i like to fly. And happy out of the hospital day.
Haha, believe it or not, I’ve just finished writing a poem, and I’m posting soon, just find myself a song to go with it. It’s hard work for me, but good for my sanity 😀☺️

When crook, you are said
to be ‘butcher’s hook’.
We got the rhyming slang

I don’t have your lyrical gifts David.
But in today’s day and age, if they say you dun it, they can create the proof themselves.

I know nothing … But

coz I fought the law
and the law won 🎶
