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.

Ivor, thank you for linking this poem to our challenge, it’s absolutely perfect!
I’m so pleased you found the last crystal glass; I thought I had a final solitary red wine glass from the Edinburgh set lurking in the back of the cupboard, but I was mistaken.
Thanks Ivor 🙂
Oh, Ivor! I have joy-tears in my eyes that you found that precious crystal glass…that has so many memories and such important meaning! 🙂
This blog post of words, photo, and song is spectacular! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
