An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
The Faeries Minder (a Tanka)
On my “nearby” walking track this morning I happened to spy some “nearby” Dragonflies. … Over at Weekly Prompts, the Weekend Challenge is; Nearby … Please visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here .
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.

OOH! This makes me smile SO BIG! π Lovely photos, poem, and music-vid! π
Aren’t dragonflies amazing!? I always count it a privilege to see one! They are so beautiful and other-worldly! π I enjoy watching them dance about as if to say, “Keep seeing the wonder! Keep your wings working! Keep living life!” π

PS…βMay you continue to touch dragonflies and stars, dance with fairies, and talk to the moon.β π
