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 do not have the answers Ingrid… but throughout history, the peoples voice grows stronger and stronger, and those in power eventually have listen to the multitude… and the puppet strings are severed…
Thank you Sadje, and I keep thinking about how we are preparing for the future…. and I so hope the governments of the world start cooperating and help each other to win this world wide battle.. !!
This is the chance for governments and communities to get together and reshape/rebuild for the future of the of all humanity… I wonder if we can?? 💚🌏🌏🤔
Yes! Exactly! Right on, Ivor!
You said it…fight for the future of humanity. We are all human beings…no matter what our differences…and the things we have in common are greater and we must unite under those things.
This is a powerful, vivid word-pic, emotion driven poem!!!
(((HUGS)))
PS…I love Aron Wright! His voice always wraps me up in a safe warm blanket. 🙂
Oh Carolyn thank you.. your kind encouragement warms my heart.. and I put a lot of time into this piece over the last few days, and I so hoping it came out ok… and we all need to jump on this topic and be one bid strong collective, so the powers to be can hear our cries and take action and advantage of the situation.. 🌏🌏💚🌍🌎💚
It’s high time, Ivor: how do we get started? 🌎
