I blog
I then clog
I’m in a smog
Don’t expect me to nod
Ivor is a blob
And a writing snob
Time to glob
And join a normal squad

I Am Not Normal
Published by

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.

Sometimes I think it’s normal to not feel normal… but it sounds you’re talking about a feeling of disconnection?
Hope the poetry reading went well yesterday.

Thank you, the poetry reading was a rave…yes… disconnection is the word…. I feel for the world….. my site gets bombard with stories about feeling for themselves…… I’m not sure l’m, but I make a terrible psychologist….. 😔

I’m pleased the poetry reading was a success….
As for the other stuff, I don’t know what to say. People can get caught up in their own lives and situations and lose perspective of wider issues. Our culture points people towards this sort of individualism I think. It’s good for us all to look outside ourselves…
Hang in there Ivor.

I was shocked when I read through some of your comments, had you been drinking when you wrote a couple of them?

I wasn’t commenting on your poem Ivor. But now I’m a bit confused you’ve lost me on your reply, you think swearing is an interesting writing practice?

No definitely not, and I never swear in my poems, the comment was probably directed at that person who had never been on my site before….. i suppose they won’t be back………
