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.

โThe worldโs future of sorrowโ – I fear it could well be ๐ณ for some it already is! I would, nevertheless love to see the Great Australian Bight!
The Great Australian Bight is still on my bucket list. .. I have not gone any further west than Adelaide ๐ the Bight is one of our worldโs pristine areas. . The drive across the Nullarbor from Adelaide to Perth is 2595 km and takes 27 hrs ๐๐
A wonderful photo and poem by Ivor…a beautiful song by Enya! As she sings as I read and it’s perfection!
Thank you for this post, Ivor!
