Shangri La: Volume 1, Becalmed Without an Alibi

FREE PDF COPY >>> Links Below


Hello, dear readers and followers as you might know I stopped producing my “Tullawalla Booklets” at Volume 31, because that was the house number of our family’s Tullawalla Homestead.
But the booklet formats are a superb way for me to catalogue the vast number of poems that I produce and as the saying goes “I Am Turning Another Page”. Here I have begun a new series of poem booklets, and they are called “Shangri La” which is the name of my little Villa, and is my piece of “earthly paradise, a retreat from the pressures of modern civilization”.


After working on the manuscript during the week and all weekend, Shangri La: Volume I is now completed and available for those who wish to download a “FREE” PDF Copy, by clicking on the link below.

Incredibily, I now have a total of “1395” Poems filed in these booklet formats!!

Becalmed Without an Alibi



Time to unshackle my inflatable raft

And reignite my charred draft

I left floating down the river

When I was the disabled driver

Of my Itmims space craft

Sadly, the fuel tank is running on empty

And the secondhand battery is almost dry

I need to recharge my world beyond page twenty

And being becalmed is not an imaginative alibi


Itmims; Ivor’s Time Machine In Micro Space

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.
