An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart

Confetti Clouds
I’m slip-sliding downward from behind the morning clouds – or are they earth’s mourning shrouds, discarded by the world’s warlords then shredded into propaganda streamers, to deceive all the invisible dreamers?
I am an unbiased, timeless observer who has witnessed every violent crowd’s mismanaged, murderous manoeuvre.
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.

No they aren’t. We can’t play a part in the world wide stage- we can only hope and pray. And raise awareness about them.

A powerful, poignant, timely poem, Ivor. Powerful title, photos, and song choice, too. Definitely distressingly sad times.
