An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
In The Blink Of An Eye (a Tanka) is up at Coffee House Writers Magazine
Hello dear readers and followers, as you may know, I now write for “Coffee House Writers” magazine on a fortnightly basis, and my Tanka “In The Blink Of An Eye”, is in this week’s edition of Coffee House Writers Magazine. … please click on the link below to read my poem/Tanka, at Coffee House Writers … >> https://coffeehousewriters.com/the-blink-of-an-eye/
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.

It was my first Tanka up at Coffee House Writers … I think it went ok … if you have seen the movie or read the book you’ll understand my words perfectly ..
Thinking of you today and the rest of the week. Update us when you are able.

PATS and RUBS to Sir Frankie! (Hope he is well cared for while you are away. He will miss you SO much! ❤ )
Frankie is being looked after by my Neighbor George .. I’ve just finished packing my hospital bag in preparation for my early start in the morning ..7.00am at the admission office 😊😀 Frankie is giving me that quizzical look again as I place my overnight bag near the front door .. 🐶😊🌏💕
Nothing serious Vanessa .. a day procedure to repair a damaged nerve in my left elbow .. which is the cause of my left hand being numb ..
I think you’ll enjoy the book Vanessa 😊🌏
