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.

Thank you Kate … it was a miserable day but I managed to take a few pic’s on our walkie 🐶… actually Patti Smith forgot the words during her performance at Noble prize presentation… the video here is a edited version … she had to start and did a superb rendition of Bob Dylan’s classic song 🎶
Beautifully written
