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.

Haha .. I’m not sure .. but I didn’t know what a group of group of “frogs” was called .. it’s an “army of frogs” … and thus during the afternoon storm, my poem was born around the the interesting line “Larger than an army of flying frogs “ … 😊🌏
Great Kaleo song! 🙂
Great photos! 🙂
Wonderful and great poem! Love your descriptions of the rain and it’s doings! Ha! Lazy Sundays give us the chance to observe, ponder, and birth-ed poems. 🙂
(((HUGS))) 🙂
