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.

Beautiful post, Ivor! Love the photos and drawing of animal families. Wonderful haiku! ❤
The video was very meaningful and well-chosen!
Wise, powerful, and timely, Ivor!
I’m doing just that! Nature is a wonderful guide…so I appreciate it guiding me.
Love your drawing (Bravo!!!! 🙂 )and the photos! All very sweet!
(((HUGS))) 🙂
Nature continues to lead the way in how to raise and love a family. Nature always harmonises with the Earth. We are too selfish to give and work with the Earth and animal families. Great poem and video.
