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.

    1. Thank you Kate, It was a pleasant change for me Kate….. I’ve been continually writing every day recently….. I’m not allowed to drive for some time apparently….. I’m trying to get out the house as much as possible…. buses and walking…..

    1. Yes I had a bit of fun putting the photographic piece together, not my normal…
      Poe’s Raven was taken in Philadelphia
      The Bull was taken in Shanghai
      No results yet, I’ll ring the Doctor tomorrow…
      And of course my Teddy Bear is very special xxx
