An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Ivor’s Utopia
“If you actually succeed in creating a utopia, you’ve created a world without conflict, in which everything is perfect. And if there’s no conflict, there are no stories worth telling – or reading!” … Veronica Roth
Ivor’s Utopia
A world made of sunflower seeds And musical water reeds
A world without greed No wars and plenty of feed
Where people don’t have to bleed For being judged an alienated breed
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.

Utopia, in the midst of this world’s, chaos, is, next to impossible for us to find, unless, we find that peace inside, then, utopia is, everywhere we, look.
Veronica Roth doesn’t seem to understand that people who’ve not had a utopia would be forever grateful for having it, and oh, the stories they would share!
Amen to this utopia Ivor.

I wonder whether Utopia would be too different/strange and might be overwhelmed 😊🌏

It might be, but it could also be extremely accepted.
