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’ll be thinking of you! Hope Canada is experiencing better weather than we are- it’s been raining for a week! better rain than snow I guess at this point in the year.
Fabulous photo! There’s a definite family resemblance which your sister share. All your friends in WP Land are almost as excited for your trip as you are! I remember when it was 3 months away; now it’s 3 days. Buon Viaggo, Ivor, caro amico mio ….although I’m sure I will get to say that again before Wednesday. Mesmerizing video by Of Monsters and Men.
YAY for a celebration with siblings! 🙂
We are all so excited for you and your upcoming adventures, Ivor! You remain in our good thoughts, prayers, bestest wishes and meditations! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️🇨🇦🛫🥳❤️
I’m sure you were. I think you might want to face time him. LOL That way he can see you and hear your voice. Hope you have a faulous time and you can tell it all aobut him when you return. Maybe bring him a gift. 🙂
I’m over the middle of the Pacific Ocean at the moment
“An Ice Cream Cone”
I’m flying against gravity’s undertow
Higher than all the birds I know
Above white clouds full of snow
.
My wings are made of steel and bone
And within this long underbelly I am not alone
As we burst through the wind’s vibration zone
Then out of the blue I am handed an ice cream cone
