A Haiku
Coastal
A strong coastal wind
Blowing sand across bare dunes
Vegetation gone

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.

There was a hidden Ivor story beneath the words, but don’t worry, they’re my emotional thoughts 🙄😉

Haiku’s can be so expressive, in a few words. I’m enjoying my ability to put meaning into such a small format, thank you Gina 🙄🤗

Your blog is inviting, and I’m glad I’m following your words that fulfill! How sweet are you? Very!😊☺ Thank you dear man for sharing your wonderful words that say So much for each poem is a gift to recall on another day!

Actually my Haiku’s words are a bit like Ray’s song. The embracing coastal breezes and warm sand dunes, never leave me (like Carole), his beautifully haunting lyrics explain it so well.
“Will I always feel this way
So empty and estranged”
