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.

Fabulous! Fantastic! Flourishing! YAY, Theo! and YAY, Ivor, for taking such good tender-loving-care of Theo! π
Mr. Orbison’s voice always touches my heart. When I was a little girl my parents listened to his records/songs. π

I love it! Lots of room to grow. Give it a little sugar and milk with a cap of vinegar to develop some good roots!
