An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Her Last Rainbow (a Haiku)
This months poetry assignment at Coffee House Writers is to read the traditional Japanese writer, Matsuo Basho’s 10 top Haiku, and then try to write a Traditional style Haiku. I think my Haiku here might get me a ‘pass’ for the assignment …
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.

Thank you Grace … my Carole adored rainbows and whenever we spotted one out through the lounge room window I would quickly wheel her outside so she could enjoy nature’s grand display 🌈🤗💕
So beautiful and heart-touching, Ivor! 💜
Lovely photo!
And, OH, that song! When I hear that song I, also, think of the song True Colors.
