Once again thank you to Susi, >>https://iwriteher.com/2023/04/26/reflections-revelations-has-published/ for selecting my poems in her outstanding Anthology, “Reflections and Revelations, The Short of It, Vol 2” … Today I am presenting the second page (33) of my pieces from her fascinating Collection of Short poems and prose … which I have scanned directly from copy of the anthology and attached below … The paperback version is available on Amazon.com NOW!! If youβre interested in getting a copy, pleaseCLICK THIS LINK!
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.
