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.

How lovely. I thought Canada was to βnewβ for a castle. Mind you, we have one castle in SA from the mid 16 hundreds.

What a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Tell me, did they let you inside the castle? I have never been- and although I doubt very seriously, I will ever get to Europe- Canada I just might be able to swing.
