An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
A Tired and Weathered Poet
(Tonight I completed the manuscript for my new book “Perceptions”) Oh well, the editing and correction process is always ongoing, for the Tired and Weathered Poet
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.

PS…Hope you and Sir Frankie can get some rest soon! Ooh…I think Sir Frankie started napping without you! 😉 😀
Yes Frankie is good at napping while I’m busy busy toiling away on the computer 🐶🤗🌏 .. I’ve over cooked myself .. but now it’s done and I need to rest up during the week ahead 🤗🌏🐶😉😴
