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.

YAY for rain! I’m so happy for you! Maybe after a nice dance or walk in the rain (?), you and Frankie can plan to stay dry. 🙂 In our rainy season I always kept towels by the door to dry Cooper off after our rain walks. 🙂
(((HUGS))) 💙💧☔🩵
Oh the rain blowing in under the door … we had one walk at lunchtime when the rain eased off slightly, but by the time we got home we were wet, but not soaked 🐶💙😍🌏
