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.

Thanks for the wonderful write and the great tune! Have you seen the movie “Yesterday”? If you haven’t, it’s worth checking out; I think you would enjoy it.

On these paths into the woods we would wander, only, to discover those, hidden parts of our own, selves we weren’t aware that existed, before…
