An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Illuminated (a Tanka)
On Thursday evening I attended the Lowercase Poetry Open Mic night, and after the event was finished I went down the road to check out the Creative Geelong “Third Space Gallery”, which I had not seen before at night. Wow, as the saying goes, “It was lit up like a Christmas tree” …
Illuminated (a Tanka)
The neon spotlights illuminated my words and the art display in the “Third Space Gallery” like a hit show on Broadway
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.

I love that the spotlight and lights are on your words, your poem! I’m so glad so many people can see it and read it! It’s one that certainly has impacted me in a positive way! 🙂
And I like this second poem about the display of the first poem! Hit Broadway show indeed! Worthy of The Tony Award! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
My goodness Ivor this is bringing all of your readers a lot of smiles. 🌟🌟🌟 It’s a joy to follow your poetic adventures and where you end up (in this case, with your name in lights)

Thank you Bree, having my poem professionally printed on the glass door was a special event for me… I suppose I’ve been “Crystalised” 📘💙
