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.

Hi Ivor I’m your friend from Goodreads.I just thanked you for your comments on my Portal.I liked your verse on Downhill run.Full of dreams and you created a sense and mood of downhill in skiing.
Not in Geelong I think.We have been there ads saw beautiful Bollards on the beach.Why not post some work in Goodreads as well.
Thank you Jamal, I appreciate your comments, at the moment I’m not following Goodreads, my blogsite is enough, but when I get more time I’ll post on Goodreads too. 😊
Ah… those beautiful dreams that enfold us. Who’s to say they are not real? They feel real when we are in them, and when we wake, the memory is sweet, as is the memory of any happy moment in our lives. ..
