An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
His New Sanctuary is Luxury
The Weekend Challenge from Weekly Prompts is: Sanctuary. Please go over and visit their fabulous site by clicking >> Here . and the poem below is my response to their prompt …
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.

Woof, woof 🐶 I am up on Ivor’s bed now, near his pillows .. waiting for him to get out bed so I can have some brekkie 🐶🍞
You know, I think we are getting on really well .. he takes me for a walk everyday , some very interesting places, where I get to meet other doggies ..
Woof .. and people give me treats and cuddles 🤗 .. sometimes I sit in his car while he’s in the supermarket .. but that’s ok because I get to bark as much as I like at the all the people outside the car 🚙🐶 .. anyhow please say hello to Coop’s for me 🐶🤗 woof, woof
Haha …we went for our walk, but we both got a bit wet .. woof, woof .. didn’t worry me, but the old bloke was cursing at the clouds … We are home, warm are dry now .. woof, woof, do you walk in the rain Coop’s .. 🐶
I like to walk in the rain…Cooper doesn’t. Unless it’s just sprinkling a bit. If it’s raining a goodly amount Coops doesn’t like it. He does enjoy walking in the snow, though. 🙂
