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 was a slow moving dancer, but definitely had a fun time. Tired today!!! I’ll have to spark up, My brother and sister are coming down from Ballarat, ti take me out for lunch, a “bon voyage” get together

Haha! As long as you had fun, you canβt rush a good thing! Have a great time with your brother & sister..Iβm sure youβll perk up, once theyβve arrived!

So happy for you Ivor – your joy comes through in this poem! Absolutely love the song too – already downloaded and added to my ‘I’m feeling a bit sad’ playlist :O) x
Yes, an interesting poem, I wrote straight after i got home from my fun day/evening out… a bit drunk !!… I posted it before I went to bed…. and waking in the morning, I left words as there appeared last night…..
The song is one of my favourites….. xx
HA! I love this! And I’m so happy for you! π You were due for a night of WOW! π π
I must say, that photo is the epitome of joy to me! π
HUGS!!! π
Oh that photo is a joyous one π. My Hanging Violet plant, our wedding flower was violets
It was good for me to get out and interact with a large crowd
Haha, tired today.. ππ
If we can bring ourselves to write while we’re tired and stupid, the words might be a bit abstract, but found there were some good thought in my subconscious mind…xx
A good night then!
