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.

no matter how crazy the world gets, their are some things we can count on like your wonderful poetry Ivor! Love the song!! πππ
A powerful poem, Ivor! And I find hope shining in it. It brought joy-tears. Nature has a way of giving us human-beans hope…I wish we human-beans would do more to give it hope back. Help it, save it, encourage it to endure the way it is meant to endure and thrive. π
That song is so sweet and wonderful.
(((HUGS))) π

βAfter self-destruction
There is resurrectionβ
I really feel this, as someone who has come back from the brink of some pretty self-destructive behaviour.

Such a lovely poem that celebrates hope and optimism. True every winter is followed by Spring and yes hope does follow despair.
