An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Us Robots
This Haiku was originally was written as a response to Brandi’s poem “Robots”, click on the link here >> https://couchtalksblog.wordpress.com/2020/04/23/robots/ , but alas there wasn’t a comment box with her article, so I’m presenting the Haiku here.
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.
