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.

Powerful poem! Such truth, Ivor! Nature gives us beauty, and humans give ugliness and destruction to nature, and to other humans. 😦
Gorgeous “sky-on-fire” photos! 🙂
Adele reminds us to cherish our roots, keep the memories of our hometown in our hearts…and I want to remember, also, how important our world is…it gives to all of us…we must give back. “Oh, the people I’ve met are the wonders of this world…” 🙂
(((HUGS))) and ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful words, Carolyn … sometimes I surprise myself with how poignant my poem becomes in a verse of only 7 lines … 🌏🌞💚💙💜📃🐶
