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.

Gorgeous photo! Wonderful Haiku! Sounds like the perfect way to start a day! 🙂
This David Gilmour song is so powerful…the animated video, too, and always gets my heart. Especially the line “…I hear “Mama” sounds the same in any tongue…” Such a powerful and timely song for today, even tho’ it was written years ago.
(((HUGS)))
You’re right Frank … I am emotionally tired at the moment … It’s the 10th anniversary of wife’s passing next week, and it was her 75th birthday last week …

Better stay under those covers a bit longer, or at least, until the sun heats up, then get up…

Staying in bed on a cold day is a good thing. Nice song – but it has a haunting feeling to me.
