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.

I heard that Brandi song in 2007 and loved it from day one! 🙂
Oh, my gosh! Your story-poem about Steve is so sensational, Ivor! 🙂
Yes, each creature on Earth (including each Human-Bean) has their story. And often the story speaks of struggles and/or sorrows…so that is why we should always be kind to all creatures on Earth. 🙂

Thank you Carolyn … oh what a sensational song … and her rendition on Joel’s show was outstanding … I was wondering about Steve’s lonely struggle, but then again I don’t have to pry into his story, he knows his purpose in life 🐌🤗🌏📘
I love this! My granddaughter and I read her favorite book together every day at nap time: “Snail Crossing” by Corey Tabor. I have a new-found respect for snails and highly recommend it for young and old alike. 🐌
