After the cold winter blizzard
There appeared the Snow-lord wizard
Upon a frozen moment in time
Atop icy alpine trees standing in line
Guarding the pure white mountains of rhyme
Home to the forest fairy’s sacred shrine
Their crystal palace above cloud nine
Where divine echos of prayers are in decline

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.

Divine echos of prayers are in decline! I love that line but I can’t help thinking that in recent months, more people have offered silent prayers than ever before.

I do like writing these fantasy faerie stories, I supposed they are escapism away from the serious and intense poems that I involve myself in….xxx

This carried me away to a wonderful place!
And I can feel the chill!
But, you, and your words, are a sweet warmth, Ivor!

PS…I think people should be willing to be the answer to the prayers… put our hearts, hands, feet, resources, helpfulness, etc., to be an answer for those crying out for them.
