Alas, lack of nurturing stifled glee

And no fresh flowers for a honey-bee

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.

  3. Hey were your ears burning. I was just writnng about you today and the Flower Soogs playlist I made for you. You never check Discord dude. =) Happy Friday. *big hugs* If you get a chance, weigh in your favorite love song. Doesn’t have to be about romance. Most love isn’t. Love for your garden is a good one, my dear Green Thumb friend. ♥.
