An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Fiery Pearls and an Ambient Eye
This weekend, at Weekly Prompts the challenge word is: Focus. Please go and visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here … and below is my response to their prompt; Focus …
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 is lovely, Ivor. And you know the most interesting music!
Beautiful, Ivor! I find the moon to be a soul enlighten-er, too. Just looking at it seems to give focus to life and life issues. 🙂

Oh, no! 😦 I’m so very sorry to hear this, Ivor! 😦
As you all-too-well know, you can take your time…and in your way…to grieve.
I think communing with the moon connects us all…near, far, and those who have gone before us.
I know you will hold your friends in your heart.
We send loving condolences to you.
