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.

Your photos are beautiful, Ivor! The clouds really put on a superb show for you! π Those clouds can be so artistic! Ooh, and sometimes so moody! π
What a fabulous trio…your photos, your Haiku, and THAT song/vid! (That’s a fave vid of mine!)

PS… “…You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful To make this life a wonderful adventure. Let us use that power! Let us all unite!…Over fear and into freedom You just got to hold on!” – Paolo Nutini
