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.

I hope it will be a ‘tsunami of love’ Ivor: it’s what we really need right now! 🌊❤️🌎
Wonderful important poem and song! You and Moby are a beautiful heart-touching duet!
I do wish leaders (and all peoples) could get the priorities right. Their actions speak louder than their words…and often their actions don’t match their words…and often their words are lies, etc. 😦
(((HUGS))) 🙂
Thank you Carolyn. .. and priorities seem to be back to front and upside down .. and Ivor is giddy from performing reverse somersaults in front of government clowns 🤡 😁🌏
Very beautiful and exquisite, and the last two lines are so mystical and stirring. How brilliant! What we don’t say or fail to say can speak louder than the words we will ever utter will. We can’t misread them either.

They can send a machine to Mars
But cannot repair a blade of grass
In nature’s backyard
So true indeed. Despite all the advances, we’re unable to achieve that. Beautifully written, Ivor 🙂
