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.

We are both slowly getting back to normal… although I am not sure if there is ever a normal for me 🤗🌏😍🐶… the little poem is about the memories that haunt us at nighttime and how sleep falls into us when our spirits are happy 😃💕
Ivor, Your poems are so beautiful, you are very talented and patient.
Glad to have found your site.
Greetings from the beautiful Rhine-Highlands / Germany….

Thank you for your kind words and I appreciate your generous support of my poetry… we are a world apart… I’m from Australia. Victoria, Geelong (the southern end of our big continent 🤗🌏
unfortunately i have never visited australia because it is very, very far away from my home country. Maybe someday, somehow, I’ll have the opportunity, who knows?
Thought provoking
