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.

lean on us a while Ivor, when you are tired know we are here, just come sit with us and let your weariness fade away, was a little concerned when I did see you post anything today, but now I read this I understand. be well my friend
Remember that song Ivor, “You say it best when you say nothing at all” Of course this is not a reference to every other poem you write, in case you thought different in reading. It just seemed to fit this poem. Better stop digging before the hole gets too deep…
We all understand and we all care about you!
I’ve been feeling emotionally tired myself.
Let us WP blockheads…er…I meant…WP block of writers…lift you up and hold you up with our โค and words!!! ๐
Hope you got some rest by now. And will get more in the days ahead.
(((HUGS)))
I’m still tired this evening, hopefully another night’s rest and I’ll be recharged. Thank you โค๏ธ for kindness. ๐ You’ve lifted my spirits. ๐ ๐๐๐
And last nights poem that I finished this morning, I wrote during the night when I was half awake a few time during the night, but the words were in my head, so I had to write them down then and there in my bed, otherwise the I lose them and then they’re gone into oblivion.
I so relate to that…it doesn’t matter what time, I just have to get the words down. And there have been times when I have dreamt music, but I always lose that…so frustrating.
Sending big hugs, Ivor dearest xxx
