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.

Thank you Cheryl .. I had some help with this one, and I am so pleased with the Haiku .. her Three Word Line happened to match the syllable count for a Haiku, and my additional words came spontaneously

Ivor, I need to go to your back catalogue of haikus and see the connections and linkages between the groups. Would make for some intriguing comparisons!
So well said my friend

Lack of communication makes the light go out of a relationship. Beautiful haiku, Ivor. Lovely metaphor and photo.
