An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
The Woman In Me
G’day readers, It’s Friday morning here in Australia. I recently made an insignificant little comment on a writer’s post, in the form of a short poem “The Woman In Me”, which I’m now posting here today….
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’m so glad, Ivor! What a beautiful tribute! I know you thought of your Mum as you wrote this poem….But you, also, had other special important amazing women in your life. Especially Carole. 🙂
I’ve had some good women in my life and fortunately some good men, too. I am so very grateful!
(((HUGS)))
Gorgeous Ivor!
