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.

By the way…I recognized some of the art as Carole’s…Are those all hers? (the top photo)
And I knew the other 2 drawings were yours!
I hope all of these are displayed prominently where you, and others, can enjoy them!
(((HUGS))) 🙂
PATS and RUBS to Sir Frankie! 🙂
(Coop is snoring softly as he lays by me.)
Yes there are all on my Brick feature in the Loungeroom .. the one on the top right is mine … I had many more, but over my many house moves they have been lost … I haven’t heard Frankie snore .. yet !!.. Cheers 🤗🌝
