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.

That is a fantastic bookstand! You are so clever; can you move here and make me a bespoke one please?
Just one tiny detail… did you mean to misspell Poetry?
Haha .. not really .. I was tired at end of the day ,,, Iβll change βoβ & βeβ in the morning .. thanks Sue β¦ Iβm a poet that cannot spell β¦ my cognitive disabilities keep showing up ππππ
I’ve lost count of the little mistakes I’ve made. I read it back later and wonder why I didn’t notice at the time of writing! Tiredness plays havoc with our minds; we don’t rest our brains often enough. π
Thanks Carolyn β¦ itβs probably a bit big for a βbookendβ, but my poetry books and the all the Anthologies my poems are published in, are heart and soul of my writings, which is a βbigβ part of my life πππππππΆ
This is cool Ivor

I suppose I should rest up more but after my 3 strokes I feel I have to keep going while Iβm still able before the next one

I can understand how you feel, Ivor. I have to force myself away from here.
