An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Why Wait? The Boat is Sinking Anyway. Is up at Coffee House Writers Magazine.
Hello dear readers and followers, as you may know, I now write for “Coffee House Writers” magazine on a fortnightly basis, and my poem “Why Wait? The Boat Is Sinking Anyhow”, is in this weeks edition of Coffee House Writers Magazine. … please click on the link below to visit my poem, at Coffee House Writers >> https://coffeehousewriters.com/the-boat-is-sinking/
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.
