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.

We often need to dig, deeper, to, expose our injuries, it’s just that, because it hurt very much, we don’t, do it…
Oh yes .. Sean’s deep melodious voice gets to me too .. I always why he is not a super-star over your way .. whoops ..still no tissues available .. my washing machine is now always full of hankies .. 🤗😥😍
Yes, that is a wonder. Well, I listen to him and I’ve introduced him and his music to other peoples. 🙂
Until the hankies dry, just let the tears flow. 🙂
