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 Sue, I suppose I’ve had enough of being in the hospital. They ask me to come in for a few tests, and now I’ve been here a week, and that’s another week closer to flying to America, which is only 10 weeks away now. I’m not fit enough yet and I suppose that’s worrying me a bit. I’m feeling reasonably ok Sue, but we are no closer to a solution yet 🙄🤔
Great post, Ivor!! Sad, that the truth is so dreary and melancholic, isn’t it! Beautifully penned, My Friend!! Hey, get well and get home, My Friend!! The hospital is no place to be!!
I’m always thinking about our planet, it is where we live, and I like to live in a tidy and friendly environment. And song lyrics by Leonard are so powerful
Beautifully penned, your words are very touching. Take care, enjoy being pampered. May you have a full and Speedy recovery!
Yonnie😊🙏💜
