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.

“Clouds sound loud and gray” – certainly describes our current state. Loved the music.
I find snails lovely and fun to watch! (And I love rain!)
Sam is handsome and loving his environment. We might say “he snailed it”. HA! π
He is a gentle reminder to slow down and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us in life. π
