An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Australian Reindeer & A Friend Calls, Published in “Positive Words” Magazine, December Issue
I am pleased and proud to announce that my two ‘Christmas’ poems ‘Australian Reindeer & A Friend Calls’, were published in the Positive Words Magazine, December Issue, and thank you to the Editor, Sandra, for selecting my poems… For further information about this fabulous Australian magazine, visit their site via this link > https://positivewordsmagazine.wordpress.com/ Attached below, I have scanned the poems directly from my copy of the Magazine
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.

Well, Ivor, I’m pleased you had a positive experience after having been archived! 😅🎄🌟
Congrats on your publications, Ivor! YAY for Positive Words Magazine! 🙂
Archived?!? Deleted??? Yikes. 😮 Oh, so glad you are reinstalled! 🙂
Oh, some of the “So, this is Christmas “happenings” are not so joyful! HA! 😀
Yet, others…like time with friends and family, are SO SO SO joyful! 😉 🙂
(((HUGS)))
PS…that version of that song got the tear flowing for me.
If I was archived, I’d think no one loved me anymore and if I digitally disappeared completely I would believe I was no more, extinct, gone and forgotten!
So glad you haven’t been deleted – thank goodness for the restore button! 😂
