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.

My garden is feeling the drought! It’s hot and hazy most days then it pours relentlessly. But my blooms are happy.

I’m so pleased you scroll down to the song first, I actually spend a lot of time searching for a suitable tune for my poem, and I do so enjoy all the songs that I have added to my music library over the years 🎶🎶😀🎵📚🙄
