An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Haiku. A Flower Gone
This haiku was a very sad piece for me to write. Personally, the words are an ode/tribute to our grandniece, Georgia, who was only 20…… Please, I’m ok, I’m wishing my words are appropriately good enough for the poor child lost….
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 am crying. I know from personal experience the tremendous loss you and your family are feeling. 😦
Your words are better than good enough…your haiku expresses the sadness of a young life gone too soon.
(((HUGS)))
Oh dearest Carolyn thanks for your kind praise, I so need to hear my words are ok. Even after all these year’s of writing, I still have these moments when I doubt my writings are of any quality 🙄😃
Oh Ivor, my brother… I love your poetry, and this Haiku is so perfectly written. A poignant, heartfelt piece straight from your heart. Hugs to you dear friend. 😌
Oh thanks Colleen 💛 I worked on the Haiku for a whole day to try and create the right blend , and yes, it’s such a sad situation, for everyone concerned 😢😢❤️💕
Hi Jane, maybe tomorrow , but maybe not, the culture’s are slow growing, they are thinking i might have TB,?? At the moment I’ve a bad headache and I’ve called the nurse. Oh and I’m still in Isolation 😃

Thanks Kate, when I write something like this, I’m not sure whether I’ve got my emotions tangled up in my words, and it doesn’t come out right. 😊

She is free now, but it’s too terrible to contemplate what the parents must be suffering, their lives torn apart by her decision.
I read that you were having tests – any results yet? xxx
