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.

An eloquent and meaningful poem, Ivor! I love the photos also. ❤ There are times I wish I could fly! I hope the birds in your post can soar high above the problems on earth.
Powerful, important, poignant poem/message, Ivor! I got teary-eyed. Pass the tissues, please.
I worry about the birds, the human-ones more than the bird-birds. But, all need protection in this harsh harsh world.
(((HUGS))) ❤️
Thank you Carolyn my analogy… we all like birds on wires.. sitting there observing the world’s crimes… the day was humid and motionless, the air breathless, and the wars are still senseless and I am feeling helpless 🤗🌏📘🖊️🇺🇦
One line at a time
We shall persistently climb
Eventually the peace bells will chime
