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.

Such a wonderful photo, poem and song/vid, Ivor!
Your poem is powerful and so relatable! It really speaks to me. I think it is one of your bestest poems.
That song always gets me teary-eyed.
Keep having adventures on Itmims! π
(((HUGS)))
PS… “I fell apart
But got back up again
And then I fell apart
But got back up again
And then I fell apart
But got back up again” π (always important to get back up again) π
