An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
A Warm and Wet Spring Day
A Warm and Wet Spring Day
Our ever-changing spring is here again. We’ve been walking between affectionate raindrops, dodging the refilling, familiar puddles, and watching Mudlark’s waddle in the ponds
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.
