Winter Solstice




The winter sun subsides

Behind white frosty clouds

And the cold setting light

Submerges under twilight’s

Curtain of icy darkness

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.

      1. 15° here at 11:42pm and I’m just about to switch off my bedside lamp for the night. (Late for me) It’s a bit cooler than it has been which suits me well. I hope you have a warmer day 🙂

      3. Good Morning! Now almost 07:25 am and I’m sat in bed with my morning coffee and the iPad and it’s 16°. It’s expected to rain for much of today. We need the rain up here in Yorkshire; up until Sunday when we had a couple of downpours we hadn’t had any rain for weeks. 🙂

      5. 16° is just about right for me too, but it’s quite humid at the moment and no breeze.
        On Sunday I sat upstairs with the French windows open just watching the rain pouring down. It was so refreshing.

        You’re the experts of going without rain so I shouldn’t complain of being without. 🙂
