Bridges of dreams crossed

The ocean and river spanned

Waters of love found

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. View all posts by ivor20

The white moon hangs low

In the blue afternoon sky

Old crow stands alone

Echoes (3 Haiku)

The three Haiku that make up this one poem, originate from three different sources.
The first stanza/haiku was inspired by Jez’s Haiku

The second stanza/haiku was inspired by Bartholomew’s Fraiku

The third stanza/haiku is a haiku I created for this post


Echoes (3 Haiku)


Some human critters
Can be thoughtless litterers
Nature’s enemies


Co-operate greed
Unlimited boundaries
Without compassion


An unknown poet
Scrawls on recycled paper
Words become echoes

Travel with time, hand in hand

Time is not faceless
