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.

I love this Ivor. You’ve taken imagination outside the box, where it belongs.
Beautiful and inspiring poem, Ivor! Imagination can take us beyond time and place, find solutions to problems, and create art, music, and poems like this! ❤ Take care, Cheryl
Alone these days, stuck at home, is confusing for me, I miss my writers groups and poetry meetings, where fellow writers would actively comment on my words…..
Love this poem…beyond, above, inside, outside!!! 🙂
We gotta’ keep our imaginations alive and well and active! 🙂
Our imaginations can take us anywhere, to do anything, anytime!
And when we share with others… our thoughts, feelings, ideas, creative visions….and they share back…we can find solutions. 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
PS…What a great sign! It made me smile! 🙂
I saw the sign on my afternoon walk…. and I was writing the poem in my head while I was walking home….. and my imagination took over for there.
… not good news tonight… our state government has just handed down another ‘3’ weeks of lockdown… so that means we’ve still got ‘4’ more weeks to go in lockdown…. cabin fever is melting-down my keyboard… 😀😎🙄😮
I’m safe and well,… but I’m so tired…. even though I’m sleeping well
I’m wondering how you can run out of energy, by sitting at home doing nothing 🤔
I’d be no good at being a “baddie”, and being locked up in prison, just as well I’m a “goodie” 😂😊🌎😏
