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.

Beautiful photos and poetry Ivor. Love the reference to “mandala.”
Beautiful photos, poem and song, Ivor! 🙂 I’m so glad you are getting to experience, and see, so many amazing things! 🙂

Maybe I must invite you to cum down to South Africa, we have beautiful Drakensberg mountains…not to mention, Cape Town.
Think about my offer in the meant time🤐
