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.

beautiful Ivor.. it sounds like you are finding your path today. ❤️
Perfect poem to pair with that spectacular photo! Wowza! And that song always tugs at my heart-strings.
OOH! Let us know how the book signing goes!
(((HUGS))) 🙂
There’s that feel of loneliness, but also, the comfort of, knowing that, you’ll finally, arrive, home soon, it’s wonderful, to know, that at the end of thd day, you have someone or something to, come home, to.
