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.

Your reward for being so patient! How was the concert? Bet you had a blast! 💥🎶😍
Thank you, and yes I had an absolute blast … John Steel was the only original member, drummer, 84 years old and 68 years a member of the band , he was amazing 🎶💕😍🌏
There’s always that something, that remindes us to, not give up hope, on days of gray, and once we find that, we need to, hold on tightly, to it, to get us through to, another brand new, day.
Hardy, indeed! 🙂
That magpie, and your poem about him, encourage us to be hardy, sturdy, and strong through the tough days, the scary nights, the wearying weeks, and on and on. 🙂 Taking each day one day at a time and keep “flying”! 🙂 Such a hope-filled, encouraging poem! Thank you, Ivor! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
