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 superb imagery, Ivor! Love it…moon blossom ringlets are the best 🙂
Editing can be a hard process. The end result you have shared here is so beautiful and seamless. Would not have guessed there had been any such struggle with it!
Love will!!! 🙂
Your imagery such shines beautifully! SIGH-worthy! 🙂
You’ve captured the moon in your poem, and the moon is smiling down on you, Ivor! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
Although it now reads ok, I struggled to get my vision onto paper, and form a sensible poem…. but I persisted over two days, then all of a sudden the words fell into place…….. Sincere thanks for your kind words xx

It’s so strange to hear of winter weather when it’s in the high ’80’s here. Beautifully penned.
