Yellow Light, a Haiku
Today the sky smiled
Above golden setting sun
And the moon did shine

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.

Ours will be here soon enough, and my days will be spent next to the log burner (snoozing a lot) and a laptop on my lap instead of sitting upstairs with my computer! I can’t believe we are in August already.

Am I being lulled
Into a false sense
of security
am I becoming
Americanized

An accurate sense
of insecurity
would qualify you
for US citizenry.
Caught between Donald

I’d rather be down under
