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.

Beautiful piece, Ivor! Your work is amazing and as I read each poem, I want to say wow – one of your best pieces but then comes the next one that is even better! Make it a great day!
Oh Eugenia, your wonderful comments have made my day.
My poems don’t always go so well, it’s just that the last few weeks I’ve been on a roll with my words, and my emotions have been on a high. I know I’ve written some nice pieces…
But my creativity will level out soon xx😊🤔😔

Of course! And I agree. Though, I haven’t mastered the art of using it as a goodbye.

I feel all poets have highs and lows with their creativity because a lot is based on emotions.
