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.

We have public Powwow’s and ceremonial dances here a lot. Of course, ours are Lower Tanana Athabaskan- but they are equally as wonderful.
Stunning totems, dear Ivor, and some glorious pix. Thanks for sharing the wonderful videos, too. Another fantastic day of your incredible North American journey! π₯°
My post was actually from 3 days ago, β¦ Iβm having so much fun, that I havenβt been able to catch up β¦ and my cousin Penny has been an awesome tourist guide, who knows what I am interested in seeing πππ¨π¦ππ
Keep having fun, dear Ivor, and don’t even think about catching up! Penny sounds like the perfect host; I’m so glad you’re having a great time. This trip has turned out to be even more wonderful that you expected! Very happy for you, my friend. π₯°
Oh, such fabulous photos, information, history, Haiku, and videos/music! Thank you for teaching us, Ivor, in such a beautiful way! π
Continue to enjoy your adventuring! π
