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.

Whew! I just hadda look: thought it was gonna be about faux environmentalism in The Great Woke Brigade’s lexicon. Thank you Ivor for making it about The Beer. Now I can save my curmudgeon as I quaff.
Ivor, it looks like you had a blast! All I did to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day was put green flowers on the dinner table and wear my shamrock earrings! The taco salad was green too. 🙂 I love your haiku!
