An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Feet and Excuses
Hello dear readers, I’ve written two Haiku’s recently, and I’m going to present them here as one piece, I have a feeling they might like to dance together…..
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.

Yes, feet are steadying, keep us standing – nice that you put them together
OH! Wonderful haiku partners! They dance very well together…kickin’ up their feet in celebratory dance!
Love the music/vid…thank you for sharing it! So hauntingly beautiful, soul-touching, tear-bringing!
Keep swayin’, hip-hoppin’, swingin’, prancin’, dancin’, Ivor!!! π

I like your haikus. Reminds me of that quote by Mariboli, “You either produce excuses or results. The rest is just noise.β
