An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Our Blossoming Twilight Moon
Please Note, that the Featured Illustration above (Moon and Tree) is by Kerri Costello and is the Introduction Drawing for Chapter 8 (Poetry In Slow Motion) of my new book, “Until Eyes Hear Sound”
Our Blossoming Twilight Moon
Day after day glides by
And I watch you gradually grow
In the blossoming blue sky
While my grasping little toe
Clings on to the last endearing bonsai
A remnant from the new worldβs crumbling chateau

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.

Congratulations on the publication of your new book, Ivor!
I am over the moon with your moon photos, Kerri’s beautiful artwork, your amazing poem and the heart-touching music/vid ( π ).
We had cloudy skies tonight, so the moon was hiding for a bit.
