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 got me all teary-eyed! So beautiful and sweet, Ivor!
Your Dad and Carole sound like people who were vibrant, cheery, energizing, warm…just like the color red! π
HUGS!!! π
Ivor… this touched my heart. Your blooms of red are beautifully described, but I hope today they do not match the rims of your eyes quite so much πΊπ
Oh, I just love flowers of red! π
