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.

    1. Thank you very much for your very wonderful words, Carolyn … I’ve only had time for a quick browse, but the Anthology looks magnificent … Oh, and I’m going to the official opening of the “Damaged” exhibition, Saturday evening, after going to a “60th” birthday party Saturday afternoon (my lovely editor/publisher’s birthday do) … busy, busy … 😎😍💓🌏💕🐶

      1. Take time to rest in between all the fun!
        I’m trying to do just that.
        Before (yes, BEFORE) Christmas we have 6 family birthdays and 2 anniversaries! 😮 🙂 Then 3 more birthdays after Christmas. And, of course, the holiday events and gatherings. ‘Tis a busy month for us!
