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.

Lovely poem, Ivor. I wonder what sort of plant your words are dedicated to. I could think of some flowers I had in my terrace some days ago. Now they have dried up so I will have to wait for next spring. The accompanying song is beautiful too, only so sad. A young person without hope that wants to end up a life so soon. There must be a way not to lose hope. 🙏
nice!
