An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Hope and Autumn
Passing the “Hope & Autumn” sign on my walk, I felt the season’s promise falter in the dry air.
Hope and Autumn
We are leaning against the barren trees with only dry grass below our knees, Summer’s gasping ground cracks still zig-zag across the track. Autumn’s relieving rains did not eventuate and Winter’s ominiously waiting at the gate
Hopefully, before the coldness begins, nature will forgive us for our sins.
“Where stories wait for rain, even here, among the books and dry leaves, the morning held its breath.”
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.
