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.

What could be better on a Sunday morning than a beautiful verse, Dio singing Catch the Rainbow and a brilliant guitarist who morphs from Bach into Blackmore? Excellent, Ivor!
So true, as there are, always, two, sides of the interpretations of things, one that’s, brighter, the other, darker, it all depends, on how we see things, and that becomes, the, determinants of, how our lives, turn, out.
Yes, such truth, Ivor…and oh so beautiful! Your photos and your poem! 🙂
Rainbows with the grey cloud backdrop are even more bright and spectacular!
We can choose the light, the positive, the warm!
(((HUGS))) 🌈❤️💛💚💙💜🌈
PS…love that song!
Thank you Carolyn … I was nearly going to send this one over to Coffee House Writers, however, I chose another poem instead … It’ll be published in 2 weeks’ time … The poet’s quill has been very active lately, … 💛🌏🎵🌝😍🌓
And we are so lucky for that
