An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
“The Road West”, Published in Geelong Writers Inc. AnoMaly Street, Chapbook
Thank you to the editor, Jo, and her team, for selecting my piece in the Geelong Writers Inc. “AnoMaly Street”, Chapbook, Poetry With A Difference, Volume 3, No. 2
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.

Maybe too clever … my idea ended up being a difficult task to do … something I had not done before on my ‘Canva’ App… but after many hours of trial and error, it eventually fell into shape … 🤗📘📖😍
Thank you very much Carolyn … Yes, it was a lot of work, and I was way out of my comfort zone with the ‘Canva Design App’ that I was using, but with my usual persistence and stubbornness, it worked out in the end … 📘🌝😍🌏
Clever!
