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.

I do hope your forcast is incorrect! Not time for doom and gloom… our time is too short for that!
Doom…I hope not! And I always hope the gloom passes quickly.
What a great poem, Ivor…I find meaning in three ways…weather-wise, world-events-wise, and emotions-wise.
I always enjoy a bit of fog…knowing it will pass…but I don’t like driving in it! 😮 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️
PS…that song is so powerful and brings some tears.
