An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Waiting In Line
Please Note: The Idyll winery estate, located in the picturesque Moorabool Valley area, is only 15 km from my front door, and are well renowned for their award winner Cabernet Sauvignon blends … 2021 – New York International Wine Competition – Idyll Victoria Cabernet Sauvignon – Gold
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.

Thank you Ingrid .. you are totally right with your summation of my poem .. yes a bit whimsical but with a bit of seriousness .. the finality of life through my interpretation of the vines waiting in line in nature’s valley of light 😊🌏🌞
I love the sound of the lazy luxurious afternoon in your poem, it is very much enriched by the deeper meaning you convey of the flow of life. I enjoyed the rhymes a lot too!
Oh, this poem turned out so wonderful, Ivor! And the photos, poem, and song trio so “sweet, balanced, distinctive, earthy, full-bodied, a beautiful bouquet”…and more. 🙂
Human beings, and our circle of life, and our some-day-passing is like the growth from seed to seedling to vines to grapes to wine. 🙂
(((HUGS))) 🍷 🙂
Yeah … you have captured the essence of my poem exactly Carolyn … I’m no philosopher, but the story of life is there in front of us every day through nature’s perpetual glory

The natural world — the place we all come from — yields bounties for mankind yet still … of which grapes — and wine — are but one …
