An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
My Sky’s Icons (a Tanka)
Hello dear readers and followers, unfortunately, I have to report that my dreaded “BLUE SCREEN CURSE” has returned, and with frustrating difficulty, I have been able to post this article tonight; however, as for my website blogging activities, I am very much restricted by the amount of available time I have left in between my numerous ‘Mirco Soft Shut Downs’ … Hence, the Beluga Lagoon music/video, “Blue” is my appropriate music choice tonight …
My Sky’s Icons (a Tanka)
The moon and the sun My heavenly universe For now, beyond reach “Patience, my son, worry not One day soon, your time will come.”
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 am saddened to hear the blue screen is haunting your posting endeavors. I have several laptops- all in various states of usefulness for exactly that reason so I know how trying it can be. You still served up a delicious piece of poetry though!
So sorry to hear about your continued blue problems. 😦 I remember in the past that one of your brothers has helped fix your computer issues. I hope he can do so with all of this. 🙂
Such beautiful photos! 🙂
Such a heart-touching poem! (patience…worry now…yes. I find such healing and hope in the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars.)
Perfect blue music by Beluga Lagoon!
(((HUGS))) 💙💙💙
PS…Please give Frankie some gentle pats from me.
Oh, I talking to my whiz kid brother today and saying he might change my platform from Microsoft Windows’ to ‘Linux’ … anyhow I’m leaving it all in his good hands while I’m in Canada 🇨🇦 … and thank you for wonderful words about my poem 😊😍🌏🎶🐶📖📘💕
