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.

WOW! Powerful, poignant poem, Ivor! So thought-provoking. Perfect pairing with that song! I enjoy Nine Lashes sound and message.

PS…How are you two doing today?!
Yes definitely some layers behind my words … Ivor’s twisted metaphorical poem …
I – Jesus
13 chairs – the last supper
A dozen – 12 Apostles
Advance bookings – prayers
haha . and after all these centuries words of love have been mislaid 😊🌏🙏💕🐶
“It’s like the whole world is passing me by .. by and by “
Clever girl .. I don’t actually try to write the words in a particular way, they basically come my subconscious thoughts, and I look to see what I written … and I go wow !!.. that nearly makes sense … I actually surprise/amaze myself, with the meanings behind my words…
🤔😊💙🌏

Oh .. I wasn’t sure myself when the words were falling onto the page … thoughts that became a poem .. a poem that seemed to produce a message … the message was in my subconscious 😊🌏💕
I had to read this several times, including your comments explaining the metaphors…complex and ominous. Wonderful how you were able to tap into your subconscious, Ivor!
That’s quite a warning, Ivor!
