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.

but bed rest it is until you fully recover … no meeting those nice nurses for kisses …
Ivor, your poem is lovely. All your poems are really wonderful. I run out of comments because I’ve said it all before. You are such a great poet.
You know I love you to bits, so massive hugs and kisses are sent to you. plus… check your e-mail.
My bedtime now, but as it’s your day I’m hoping you’ll have plenty going on around you. Night night from me xxx
love the old world charm of this poem Ivor, only you can do this, make me nostalgic for the era of courtship and stolen kisses. I hope the poem you write has cheered you up as much as it has me today.
I am happy that your mind is moving towards strong positive thoughts. you are an amazing soul Ivor, I am quite out of words to describe how amazing you are.
Going for a munch of cheese on the moon sounds wonderful! Dream it, Ivor. It must have magical healthgiving properties – ‘cos, the moon. Hugs and blessings x
OH! This is one of your best poems ever! It is so sweet! It has vivid word-pics! It has good emotions! It brings joy and smiles and memories…such warmth on this cold night. 🙂
There you are…so ill and in bed 😦 …and you are making all of us feel better! 🙂 Thank you, Ivor! 🙂
I know hearing “rest now” a million times…and having to stay in bed…can be so boring and tiring. Ugh. But, do what ya’ gotta’ do to get well! 🙂
That photo is amazing! I almost get dizzy looking at it! Ha! 😀 It reminds me of when I visited the giant redwood trees. Know what? I even hugged a few trees! 🙂
HUGS for you, too!!! 🙂
