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.

Almost clean… wonder how far they have to go to actually have clean air?
I have been thinking a lot lately about how I could adapt to life with no vehicle if gasoline prices become exorbitant. I guess- that since walking would become the most consistent mode of travel- the air would finally get a much deserved break.
Such a powerful, important, timely, truth-filled posting, Ivor…title, photos, words, poem and music!
Seems what a few do to impact many, also, impacts all of nature…be it good-doings or bad-doings. Wish many were doing good-doings to help all.
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
PS…I think when a person is narcissist/selfish it makes them and their hearts and souls ugly. But when the human species actions are selfish or evil, tragically it can cause extinction to other species and to nature. 😦
Thank you for all of your meaningful words, Carolyn … we’re just started our first day of the book festival … the weather is fine, and up here in country Victoria, the air clean 🌞🥰🤗🌏🎶📖📘

It does seem as if birds have a lot more freedom than humans do but I’ve decided it’s a fallacy as human errors impact all living things.
