An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Pitch Black, War Limericks Are Not Fun. 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 “Pitch Black, War LimericksAre Not Fun”, is in this weeks edition of Coffee House Writers Magazine. … please click on the link below to read my poem, at Coffee House Writers >> https://coffeehousewriters.com/pitch-black-war-limericks/
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.

By the way, I just a had a thought about Gerry’s challenge. Next time he posts a challenge, ignore the context, he makes it too personal; just go with the words in the title (if that’s possible). 🙂
A timely, powerful, and very creative limericky-poem, Ivor! It packs a punch! And with that version of Mr. Cohen’s song for the Ukraine it is a brilliant, emotional pairing.
(((HUGS))) ❤️
Sadly, that was a well done poem Ivor!
“And didn’t like Ukrainian bombs
When he was in bed with Rasputin”
love the imagery and the song and loved listening to it again
💖🌻🙏
Excellent, Ivor 🙂
