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.

he is a horrible human being, and we hope to survive him and get back to humanity at the top
Yes… he’s not the right sort of leader for troubled times…. he’s more worried about the economy and money … rather than the health and being of the people…

Well said and in rhyme too. We are in a sorry state and I’m praying that his tenure will be over soon – I just hope we can survive his term.

Yeah, he’s an economist leader, not a humanitarian leader, and a compassionate leader is what’s required during the communities stressful times….

Sadly true…such a mystery as to how out of a population of hundreds of millions it came down to him. He’s a salesmen.
