An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Strong Undertows, 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 poem “Strong Undertows” is in this week’s edition of Coffee House Writers Magazine. … please click on the link below to read my poem, at Coffee House Writers. https://coffeehousewriters.com/strong-undertows/
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.

A lovely reflective poem, Ivor. I left a comment at Coffee House Writers magazine. ❤
Strong undertows right now, Ivor, I see so many old trees downed by storms in the Lake District. No-one seems to take too much notice. But even this season of human destruction will pass in time…
This is so powerful and important, Ivor! Your photo, your poem-message, and your song choice.
We should have more respect and kindness for the owls and crows (and ALL of nature), as we can learn so much from it!
(((HUGS))) 🙂
It’s a lovely piece, well written thematically and stylistically. Keep writing and keep spreading love. Seen it on the other side too (the magazine). 👏👏
