Thank you to Susi; her article, “Calm”, inspired my Senryu >> Calm – I Write Her





Calico Curtains
(a Senryu)

When the lights are dim
Behind life’s silent curtain
The show carries on




‘Behind the silent curtain, the world still trembles — Cohen answers where my haiku whispers.’

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.
