An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Logically, I Am Here
Today’s poem is one that I wrote while attending a “Writing Circle” meeting, hosted by the talented and gracious, Ali Grimshaw … If you are interested in attending one of her fabulous on-line “Zoom Sessions”, you can visit her site by clicking on this link >> https://flashlightbatteries.blog/
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.

Great poem, Ivor! Powerful and ponderful!
Some nonsense (re: silliness) can be fun and safe. π
But there is so much, too much nonsense (drivel, deception, idiocy, etc.) being spouted out there these days that is causing harm, pain, confusion, etc. βΉ
(((HUGS)))
PS…βTis funnyβ¦right now Iβm wearing socks that say No Nonsense across my toes. π
PPSβ¦Oohβ¦I so enjoy Madrugadaβs music!
Hi Carolyn .. It’s been a long day for … I was up a 5.00am this morning for the poetry live Zoom meeting from Portland USA .. far too early for Ivor to write something sensible .. It’s now 8.00pm, and I am heading for bed soon … .. Oh that Madrugada song, it only came up on my YouTube today while I was at the Box Office Cafe finishing off the poem.. and I have only heard it once myself … HaHa .. I like your funny socks … πππ€πβ²
I like people who make me smile. It’s not good to be too serious! Even your more whimsical poems seem to have a deeper meaning, Ivor. That is a wonderful talent you have! β€
I really like that song Ivor π
