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.

Wonderful poem, Ivor! Themes of brotherhood and peace. And another beatles classic! It just doesn’t get much better than this. β€ Peace, Brother! π
Thank you Laleh, lovely to hear from you.. I’ve been a bit quiet lately.. I’m busy writing a manuscript/book of my poems, hopefully to published in January 2021 πππ
Yes, thank you for the applause Laleh… It’s definitely a big step forward for this almost 70 year-old, who has survived 3 strokes, and still managing to be able to write ok… ππ
I knew what the video would be, no surprises. Beautiful poem I can imagine the Faeries dancing in the Sun Rays and Moon Beams when Wala touches them with her love they come alive and dance with much glee. Bless you
