An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Rainbow Over Pako
Ivor and Frankie at the Box Office Cafe
Rainbow Over Pako
After the dawn’s cold frost Our morning walk was cool and crisp But the autumn sun was shining And we decided to head down to Pakington St Affectionally known as “Pako” A charming street with small rustic shops And abundant alfresco-style cafes We always go to our favourite venue The ‘doggie friendly’ Box Office Cafe
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.

Wonderful verse! And I must say both you and Frankie are looking quite handsome, dear Ivor! 🤎🐶🌏👨🏼💻💙
What a wonderful place to be and enjoy! Your lovely poem says it all!☕️ Oh, and a rainbow joined you! 🌈 Such a beautiful rainbow! 🌈 🙂
Oh, Frankie! You bring me great BIG smiles today! You and your Dad both look to be in fine fine form! 🙂 YAY! 🙂
We always appreciate those dog-friendly places! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
PS…I was really really really missing Cooper today…more than on a “normal”-missing-him-day, and your photos of Frankie brought me such much-needed joy! Please give Sir Frankie some loving pats and rubs from me! 🙂
I’m so pleased that you are enjoying my Frankie photos, he’s such an amiable little fellow who brings joy to everyone at the cafe … life has been very hectic for me, and some lovely autumn weather while strolling down ‘Pako’ and a relaxing afternoon at the cafe was just what the Doctor ordered … 😍🌏🐶🍮🌈💗🌏🌞
Ivor, this feels warm and grounded. I really like the gentle buildup from “cool and crisp” to the comfort of your favorite café—such an inviting little journey.
