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.

The air may be thinned down, but it surely is, a wonderful thing, to GET away from all the noises down below, and now, if only, we can, take this peaceful state of mind with us wherever we may go, all will be, perfect then…
Wonderful photos and lovely poem, Ivor. Your poem on trains hits the right notes for me: “harmony and serenity” and I appreciate the totally relatable imagery in “another home away from home.”
Such a lovely trio, Ivor…photos, poem, and song! Perfection! π
Such a beautiful gift to Sandra! π Wonderful memories made! π
That train mural is fabulous…yes, peace and serenity. π
