An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Nature’s Canvas (two Haiku)
These two haiku grew from different moments — the first shaped by the quiet colours in my own sky, the second written in response to Colleen’s moon‑lit Quadrille (link below). Together they trace a small passage from daylight’s pastel calm to the deeper bloom of night. Link:Colleen’s post —The Moon flower, Quadrille, dVerse – Tanka Tuesday
Nature’s Canvas (two Haiku)
The white canvas clouds Hover in front of the sun Nature’s pastel sky
In darkness she blooms The other side of the moon Above her white tomb
For the moments we hold, and the ones that slip beyond us.
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.

Quietly powerful writing with the perfect soundtrack; another new piece. Listening to the music while looking at your images, the clouds seemed to slowly move. Inspiring, my friend. 💙🌥️🎶
