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.

great songs … be careful nibbling your nuts please I hear it can be painful 😉
no news at all, what to do … you are in my thoughts and prayers!
I like the Christmassy lyrics
of the Hunters & Collectors
‘Talking to a Santa’ 🎅;
“Souvent pour s’amuser
les hommes d’equipage
And it’s like talking to a Santa
You tasted peanuts, dry roasted,
when she painted your face
And it was like talking to a Santa.”
