Striding so calmly

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.

  3. Oh, my gosh! What a wonderful trio of Ivor photo, Ivor haiku, and Melanie song!!! 🙂
    I wonder, too, where Alexander is off to…he is a busy steady hard working patient fellow! 😉 😀
    He “(We) Can Work it Out”! HA! 😀 Watch out for the “Blackbird”, Alexander, or you might have to holler “Help”! Oh, yay…”Her Comes the Sun” “Across the Universe”! 🙂
    (((HUGS))), no bugs!!! 😛

    1. Thanks Carolyn … You gave me lots of Sunday morning smiles … 😀😀 Melanie’s gorgeous song was perfect, the beetle Alexander, is name after my dad … I submitted another Alexander Beetle poem into the Geelong Writers Anomaly anthology … so It won’t be published for a while, but I can give you a special sneak preview … 🤗📘🌏
      “Alexander Beetle Sensed the Crime”

      A crazy Autumn afternoon
      Do not call me lazy
      I am gazing at a silver moon
      Has my finale night
      resumed too soon?
      My table
      has been set without a spoon
      Have I misread the event’s tune?

      A sundial chimes the time
      Have I misaligned the rhyme?
      My friend
      Alexander beetle sensed the crime
      and memorized my vanishing mime
      then stoically marched-in-time
      Away
      from the phenomenon’s unlyrical lines
