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.

We are all responsible for the amount of waste dumped in the oceans, seas and rivers. There are several groups of people who are devoted to cleaning up the waste. It needs more than this.
A perfect haiku and song duet, Ivor!
Our poor oceans! 😦
I think the stats should be shared more often. Might they wake people up?!?!
I would hope so! If only each person would do their part.
(((HUGS))) for you! (((HUGS))) and ❤ for our planet!
Thanks Carolyn… Sometimes I wonder.. sometimes I’m ashamed, sometimes I’m flabbergasted, sometimes I am at a loss for words, sometimes I sit here and cry…. ((hugs))… I need hugs today…. ((Hugs))… 😀🙄
You are not alone in those feelings, Ivor.
We will use each new day given to us to keep trying to make positive differences for our planet, our world, our countries, and our little corner of them. 🙂
Extra (((HUGS))) 🙂
