The Field’s Tiny Critters 

Please Note: all attached photos are mine and were taken this morning while walking on our nearby community track

Caterpillar and Cricket

Butterfly and Dragonfly

The Ted Wilson Trail and my walking companion ‘Frankie’


The Field’s Tiny Critters 



Crickets were wildly bounding 

Out of the dry ground cracks 

Caterpillars casually crept 

Along the winding track 

Butterflies did freely flutter 

From flower to flower 

Dragonflies swiftly swept 

Through the tree towers 

Whizzing watchfully, hour after hour 


Nature’s imperial overseer 

For the field’s tiny critters

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.
