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.

Congratulations Ivor. This is quite an anthology. I took a peak inside on the amazon ad. Looks good. I liked the story or the little mouse trying to cross the river. Six poems in this is great!
I’ve been fortunate, and one of the editors, saw some of my poems on ‘Go Dog Go Cafe’, and invited me over to submit to their magazine… that was a couple of years ago, and I’ve submitting to their anthologies since then..
I’ll watch some on Iview tonight.. but I’m going to sleep quite early over these last few weeks.. tiredness seems to be in my system at the moment 😊😴🌏🎈
