I’m out of isolation
Home tomorrow afternoon
I’m as weak as a kitten
That’s been chased and bitten
I’m as tired as Leonard after his last song
My recovery shall be slow and long
I’m sure to need lots more rest
And there’s more examinations and tests
Over the next six weeks
But I’ll keep writing and giving cheek

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.

This is excellent news Ivor. They have taken very good care of you in hospital, but I am sure you will feel much better once you’re home. Take care of yourself.
