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.

Ouch! Sadly you seem to be right… Maybe some sprinkles of kindness and love would be the antidote!
So powerful, sobering and true. Something all peoples need to think about.
AND we must seek to bring some sweet, loving, kind, and healing to each day.
Great poem, Ivor!
((HUGS))) 🧁❤️
