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.

An EXCELLENT haiku, Ivor
Yes, why. And whenever the why’s appear, we must try to do things to find answers/solutions.
Beautiful photo! Is it part of a mural?
And you know Mr. Cave’s voice and messages in song always get all the way to my heart. โค๏ธ

We don’t take good of anything on our planet … human’s continue to take mother earth for granted, as if the whole place was solely meant them and their stupid greedy ways .. .. whoops .. here I go again … !!
I’ll calm down… and bath in the friendly atmosphere of last night’s “lowercase poetry” recital event, … a venue full of enthusiastic and smiling poets … truly a place of peace and compassion Ingrid … ๐๐๐ปโฎ
