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.

Ivor, thank you for the encouraging poem and uplifting images. They spoke to me today. 💕🌻🦋⭐️💕
Thank you for understanding my words … as a 3 time stroke survivor, it is so easy to let things go, but I’ve learned that you must “use it, otherwise you’ll lose it”

I do think sometimes I am too willing to give things up at this age. You made me think this morning, Ivor.

I agree, Ivor – why retire your wings when they are still serviceable.
