“The Proof is in the Pudding”

Frankie proof-reading “Until Eyes Hear Sound”… After, reading is tiring




“The Proof is in the Pudding”




“Woof, woof, posties at the front door”

Yeah! The proof copy has arrived 

And intuitively, Frankie knows

This new book is important

And especially precious to me 

As I place the book between his paws

So he can carefully turn the pages

And diligently do a proof-read for me  

“Woof, woof, your poems are easy to read”

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.

  6. AW! and HA! ❤️ 🙂
    Sir Frankie is taking his job as proof-reader with great seriousness! 🙂
    Yes, Frankie, after a good read it’s fun to take a good nap. 🙂
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
    PS…when anything new comes into our house, Cooper must give it his sniff of approval! We even call it The Cooper Sniff of Approval. HA! 😀 We made it a joke based on a magazine that used to assess products and give a yay or nay…if they felt it a great product they gave it their Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. 🙂

    1. Yes Carolyn, Frankie’s the same, he sniffs anything new that arrives at home 🏡 🐶 He was so kind and gentle with my book when posing for the photos, he knew exactly what was required … he was the perfect model 🐶💛 Haha … and I find reading very tiring too, especially proofreading 📕🌏💛🐶😍
