Cry me a fair-tale
A fable that’s true
If I place steel pails
Under your sails
Could you please
Rain on our arid ship
Fill all the buckets
And douse the fires
Cry me a storm
And fill our fragile souls
With watery glee
Cry me a river
And fill our hearts
With liquid joy

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.

Excellent combination of verse and song, Ivor. Hanne has taken hairstyle tips from our Shetland ponies.
