A sincere thank you to Colleen of Chatterblog, for inspiring me to write these few simple words about my childhood days, via a recent gorgeous post https://bikecolleenbrown.wordpress.com/2018/05/03/if-you-didnt-ever/
In my time
trees I did climb
played hide and seek
always had a peak
went to the park
’til after dark
built my own fort
enjoyed my sport
day dreamed in class
smart enough to pass
nicked my brothers shoes
teased my sister too
In my time
I laughed with you

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.

I think a lot of those things you did were universal childhood fun times – at least in that era we grew up before electronics took over the world!

The other day I was looking over the garden wall and thinking I used to climb over this and over the gate and I wish I could still do it but how do I know I cant, I haven’t tried it. A warning bell rings… Don’t even think about it!
Love this poem Ivor of your carefree and happy childhood. 🙂
