An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart

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.

Nice poem, Ivor. I’ve always enjoyed the story of Sleepy Hollow. If you’re looking for music inspired by it, I highly recommend “Love Is Scary” by Kristen Lawrence.
This is just so clever and delightful Ivor!!! I see why it was published. I usually don’t like halloween stories and poems but love this ๐ Bravo!โฃ๏ธ
