An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Lullaby, (a Senryu)
Please Note: All above images (Except the one of Frankie), were by taken by Derrick Knight, and he kindly allows me to reproduce his wonderful photos here on my poetry website. If you wish, you may visit his fabulous Site via this link > https://derrickjknight.com/2023/05/17/baby-species/
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.

Wonderful lullaby, beautiful photos from Derrick, and oh, sweet Frankie. I was out yesterday and made friends with a black dog just like Frankie. Her name was Missy and she was adorable. Would Frankie have any interest in a long-distance romance? 😀
Thank you for your lovely comments Lois … I adored Derrick’s photos and they immediately made me think of a Lullaby 🤗🎶😴😍… Frankie is always very friendly with other dogs 🐶 on our morning walkies and he is a favourite of the other walkers too 🤗😍🐶🌏
A beautiful duet by Derrick and Ivor!! ❤️❤️
Love this posting…photos, lullaby-poem, and Mr. Cohen music! (OH! those photos, lyrics, and quotes in the video!!!)
Lullabies are lovely! 🙂

Thank you Derrick for allowing me use your wonderful photos to accompany my poems … a Haiku, but I think my words matched your images ‘perfectly’
