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.

That’s a great reminder to try to live every moment and a great pick me up song.
A wonderful thing about writing is it can be done any time of the night or day. YAY!
Beautiful relatable poem, Ivor! Pretty sky photo! Lively get-us-movin’ song! 🙂
I like writing at night when the “world” seems to be asleep. 🙂
(((HUGS))) 🙂
My pleasure Ivor, I’ve been at that stage since childhood. I need a short power nap in the afternoon. Infact most of the work I do after the afternoon nap 😴. At night I’m the most active .🙄
A beautiful, relatable poem, Ivor. We all need a little down time. I am sure Frankie agrees. ❤ Enjoy!
I haven't heard from you on my blog in quite some time. I thought maybe you are not getting email notifications from me. I have had a few such problems recently. All the best! ❤
Jestem w Szpitalu bo mam problemy ze zrowiem. Miej czasu będę poświęcać pisaniu na blogu. Musze zająć teraz głowę na walke z przeciwnośćami życia.Życie postawiło na mojej drodze kolejne wyzwanie. Tym razem na śmierci i życie. Jestem gotowy na podjecie wyzwanie, lecz tym razem to nie zależy odemnie tylko czy finansowo jestem w stanie podołać. To jest niewiarygodne że życie ludzkie zalerzy od kawałka papieru. Bardzo przepraszam za brak komentarzy. I w króce do zobaczenia. Z w SZ i P. Adrian Kozioł
