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.

Wonderful poem! Words ARE your world, Ivor…keep speaking, writing, sharing! π Words can help, heal, teach, inform, bring about positive changes. π
(((HUGS)))
PS… ALWAYS love hearing Mr. Joe Cocker!
Ahh I have playing his songs all morning .. his music is timeless πΆπΆ. ..of course βWords to Youβ is about Carole and the toughest time of losing her ability to speak words π
Your words are your world. Words are how you share your beautiful inner world in your work. A poignant poem, Ivor! β€ I recognized your lovely flowers too, another treasure!
