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.

A powerful poem, Ivor. ❤️ Such an important message we must all ponder.
I’ve often wondered what the moon thinks as it looks down on us. I often envision it saying…”It’s a new day, Peoples! Come on, let’s get it right today!” 🙂
Your photos are fabulous! And that song…wowza! Mike Scott sure has a gift for lyrics and singing. What a gifted musician!
(((HUGS))) for you, Ivor! 🙂
PATS and RUBS for Sir Frankie! 🙂
Thank you Carolyn … yes I always wonder what the moon thinks of us human-beans … and the moon wryly sighs … I did have ‘wryly smiles’ , but he’s not really smiling at us anymore … maybe a scowl from his jowls these days … And Mike Scott has been amazing for a long time … how’s Coops keeping … Pats and Hugs 🐶🤗😍🌏
Coops is aging. 😦 I think his eyesight is getting worse. 😦 He’s had some anxiety over it this past week, but we figured it out quickly and found a way to help him feel secure again. But, other than being a senior adult doggie with senior adult doggie issues, he still loves to snuggle, jump on the ottoman for a nap, play fetch, take walks, eat heartily, etc. 🙂 So I’m so glad he’s still enjoying life. 🙂
How is young Sir Frankie doing today? ❤️
Thank you Sue … in the end I nearly got it right … I am still able to write a poem nearly every day, and I am happy to achieve the output, and I figure, there will always be good ones and bad ones ….
