An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Tree, a Haiku
‘Featured Image’ above: I’ve used this wonderful photo from Derrick Knight’s blog/website before, although here today, I’ve used a colour filter (Vanilla). Again thank you Derrick, for allowing me to use this beautiful and impressive photo, with my humble little Haiku.
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.

Ivor, I like your haiku. ❤ I would feel lost in an environment without trees. They are very comforting to me. I think your poem expresses that sentiment very well. All the best! Cheryl
Derrick’s photo is on my screen.. 🌏🌲 I’m watching the penguin parade live… Switch on the now.. Oh.. This best way to have dinner.. smiling at the penguins waddling up the beach..

I’ve always felt akin to trees…I love them and have hugged a few of them, too. They add such beauty and life to our lives.
I can’t see Derrick’s photo. ???
Your haiku and the music/vid is so beautiful and peace-bringing!
HUGS!!! 🙂
