The Forest Monarch

Hello dear readers, this weekend, I am going to Ballarat for my brother’s Birthday, and I’ll be taking my ‘Duck Muck’ computer box with me. Hopefully, my whizz brother will be able to repair it. So, that means I’ll be relatively quiet here on my ‘website’ until my errant computer is up and running again.

Pony wearing a fern necklace





The Forest Monarch


She roams New Forest

Like a natural born monarch

A true native of the land


She’s glamorous and charismatic

A perfect heir for nature’s game of thrones

A noble horse for our country’s warring forces

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. Thank you very much Cheryl … Derrick’s horse photo was so gorgeously captivating and I knew it would inspire to write a poem … I’m heading to Ballarat now, my brother picked me up… my siblings won’t let me drive that far 😊🌏😍
