An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
The Cold Facts (a Haiku)
This morning arrived with a soft, icy hush — the kind of cold that settles on rooftops and lingers in the breath, even as the moon looks like an ice cube
The Cold Facts (a Haiku)
An icy morning Wind-chill down to two degrees The moon looks cold too!
Let this winter‑blue tune drift beneath the cold morning moon.
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.

Here in Geelong we live a moderate and sheltered life and our current arctic blast in autumn is very uncomfortable for this old cuddly koala …
