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.

Gorgeous photos! Lovely beautiful Haiku! Embrace the warmth and the beautiful beach!
The blues that are the sky and the water…oh, so peaceful, so amazing! 🙂
Wonderful song by Mr. Rudd! 🙂
(((HUGS))) for you and Sir Frankie! 💙🩵☀️💙🩵
Ooh, send a little heat this way, dear Ivor. It’s freezing! 🥶 I’m not a winter girl and would love a splash in that gorgeous water with Frankie! What fun! 🤎🐶🩵🌊💛🌞💙🌏
We had a fun splash together… Frankie’s gradually getting used to the water, … he had not been in the sea before I got him and he couldn’t swim … 🐶💙🌏😍🎶🤗

We had a great time at the beach, Carolyn … Frankie had not been to the beach before I got him, but I think he’s gradually getting used to it … 🌏😎🐶💕💛💙

No kidding? I thought swimming came naturally to dogs. That must have been a special bonding time for you and Frankie! 🥰
