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.

It’s okay to be both in life! 😉
You are BOLD and your words help others be bold, too. Good thing, for sure! AND you are hopeful! A really good thing, for sure! 🙂
Love the artwork and the song/vid you shared, too.
(((HUGS))) ❤️☮ 🇺🇦 🌏
Whoops .. ready to go out this evening, firstly to a “Community Fuel” script reading event .. and then to the lowercase poetry recital night .. and early in the morning I host the CHW sprint session … yes .. I need a bigger sundial in my courtyard, which I haven’t had a chance to visit this week ..😊🌏 … I think I’m too old for this blogging world .. 🌏🤗💤
I love this Ivor. Congratulations on all. YOU are so busy which makes me happy;

It’s quite foolish, of us, humans, to believe, that the human race will eventually take the blindfolds off, and see the truth, but, we still, keep on, hoping for it for some reasons…
