An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Stony Clouds (a Haiku)
I have been busy today reloading my computer with my printers and scanner, then adding all the necessary apps that I use to organise to my poetry website … Our spring weather was again atrocious today, but despite the appalling conditions we still managed to go out for our ‘walkies’ … Images Below: in the right-hand photo, I am sure the big grey cloud was laughing at us, for being the only ones, crazy enough to brave nature’s fierce winds …
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.

Thanks Dwight … having trouble setting up my audio/speaker system this morning … after a while I think I’ve “Got It” … Yeah, I can officially wear a ‘Computer Whizz Hat’ now … 🧙♂️
Thanks Carolyn … Frankie nearly got blown off his feet/paws, but we managed, except we were both bitterly cold … Frankie was happy to get back home … and I sat down and wrote my Haiku … 😍😊🐶

Nice! Resetting can be a real pain. Hopefully once you get set up it will sail like a ship in the wind!
