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, great rhythm and rhyme. Seems to be about Covid19 restrictions. Meaning is not clear to me. What are bibbs and L Plates? Sorry, I don’t understand the references.
Yes I suppose my words drifted a bit… It’s about how we cope with Covid, and then there’s those selfish fools, that haven’t learnt that it takes teemwork and community participation to get us out of this mess… Stop acting like spoilt brats and ignorant individuals… and Trump was very good at inciting the masses against minority groups.. and using them as scapegoats, in the same way Hitler used the Jews to take the attention away from the real problems at hand 🤔😊 whoops I’m getting carried away ☺
I suppose you’ve plenty of those idiots over there too, that don’t understand the seriousness of situation, and are too selfish and too scared, to be, kind, considerate, and tolerant during these tough time for everyone….
Not at all! I appreciate the explanation, which makes perfect sense. We have selfish fools here too. I try to stay out of their way! Thank you, Ivor. ❤
Haha, it’s good for me to explain some of my abstract poems, because sometimes I’ve forgotten what I was trying to say… I’ve so many thoughts flying around in my head, I tend to lose the plot…
Time, indeed! Way past time! ( I think they have been way worse than any primate. You might need to apologize to primates! 😉 😀 I love primates! Did you know that mother Orangutans will stay with and mother their babies for 8 years! Loving them and teaching them how to survive. 🙂 )
Perfect photo, poem, song trio, Ivor! 🙂
It’s always a good time for some love, respect, compassion, unity, understanding, ETC! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤ 🙂
Yes I did apologise to them, in a reply I sent to Eugenia… Yeah the photo I constructed myself out of 3 other pic’s, and stuck them together for the scan. 😉
The song is Hanna Kah’s brand new, out yesterday, she sent it to me last night via her FB… and it seemed to fit my poem.. so I’ve sent my post to her in Germany. I’m sure she will appreciate all the extra airplay.. 🇩🇪💙🌏🎈💚🎺
This is a lovely get together dance song, and she looks so happy…I know they were please to be able to record the song….like all musicians it’s been a tough year for them.. 😊😎😍
