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.

Wonderful poem! Words ARE your world, Ivor…keep speaking, writing, sharing! 🙂 Words can help, heal, teach, inform, bring about positive changes. 🙂
(((HUGS)))
PS… ALWAYS love hearing Mr. Joe Cocker!
Ahh I have playing his songs all morning .. his music is timeless 🎶🎶. ..of course “Words to You” is about Carole and the toughest time of losing her ability to speak words 💕
Your words are your world. Words are how you share your beautiful inner world in your work. A poignant poem, Ivor! ❤ I recognized your lovely flowers too, another treasure!
