Patchwork Words


Our big wondrous world
Is like a well-worn patchwork quilt
Where the warmth of hope and love does not wilt

We fly through decades of storms
I wonder
Are we the pilot of our journeys

Our unreadable blueprints
Are only guidelines in black ink
To make us think
Of life’s kinks and chinks
And those indistinct
Instinctive missing links

Our treasured memories
Are like nursery rhymes
They stay in our minds forever

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.
