This morn, I broke my favourite bowl
We can buy another one
You say lightheartedly
But can we buy another me
I was as clumsy as can be
Awkward to the ninth degree
Oh, to sit down with a cuppa’ tea
Then I stumbling, spilt the milk
All across the kitchen bench
We can easily clean the stench
You say lightheartedly
But can we get another me
Will I continue to fall out of every tree
Will I always miss where I pee
How am I to swim the pacific sea
How am I to climb the stars with thee

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.

I LOVE this! Maybe because it’s me. I lose my glasses, my phone, the outfit I just took out of the closet. It used to be funny when I was 40 or 50. It’s not funny at 66. Sometimes I think everyone would be better off with a “different” me…but then it wouldn’t be ME…would it? You make me think and feel, my friend…….
