About Me

There isn't much to tell about me.. I've been writing poetry for about three years now and it's a great way to express some feelings. People see me as someone who only makes fun and not as a serious type, though I really prefer fun above everything. I also can be serious as in my poems. I also like helping people and like to hear from my readers. Oh and please don't mind my English! I'm Dutch you know.

Inspiration?

Today I had some friends over asking me about my blog. They tried helping me by naming things that could inspire people to write. The first thing they said was weed. It's no secret my friends and I smoke some weed sometimes. It's legal here so what's the problem? As long as you know your limits, right? So they said weed and coming to think of it, it does help you think creative, though really inspiring you to write? I have written enough times under influence of weed and I must say that it helps. The only problem is that you think you're doing a great job, but that may not always be so. Enough times I would read what I wrote the day after and most of the time it's not good at all. Funny is that you will write about the most philosophic questions ever or think of subjects you usually won't think of. That's something great, because when you read it you can start making adjustments and make something good out of it. Then you get an exciting, crazy, perhaps great poem. Here is a poem I wrote when I was under influence : Never This Chill

Now does weed inspire you or not ?
I think it's safe to say it inspires you, but writing when under influence is a different story. Also keep in mind that when you're under influence you won't be in the mood to write. You'll most likely want to sit, laugh and eat.
One last thing, there are many ways to be inspired, try those instead of weed. Especially when it isn't legal!

Performing poetry


Tonight I'll be performing 2 of my poems for an audience in AMSTERDAM!! Yes the capital of The Netherlands! A cool coffee shop where I sometimes hang with friends asked me to perform after they had seen my blog. It's Wednesday so there will be a lot of people and I'm actually kinda nervous, but also excited. I haven't performed before so I searched for some tips and found this site http://www.wbaf.co.uk/hints-and-tips-performance-poetry. I like the tips and think it will help me, perhaps it will help you to. Oh and the poems I'll be performing are Shattering and Never this chill. The owner asked me to do those because he liked them the most and thought people there would like these most. I don't mind and think he's right. Especially Never this chill will do good I think haha.

My exams

I haven't been keeping my blog up to date, but there is a reason. I have had my exams. Well not all of them yet. I still have two more exams to go and then I'm finally done.
But the day before my exams I wrote this little space poem. By space poem I mean a poem I wrote after smoking some weed.

Though I promised myself not to smoke any weed the day for my first exam, I did. Around 3 AM I started smoking to relax because I really was stressing myself out by thinking of my first exam. I don't know what my friends gave me, but I had an awesome space and this is what I wrote in it.

Never this chill

I sit and spin
On my chair
Don't care
That daylight's near
Not even my exams
Can stress me out
I'm in a perfect space
Without a doubt

I can see
Armies fight
Right here, on my desk
Airplanes fly by
Dropping air supply
Explosives go boom
And fill my whole room
With a flash and a bang

I spin my chair

See people on TV
Looking right at me
Asking me
If i'm doing fine
I tell them
That i never had a better time
They laugh and clap
I take a bow and end the show

I spin my chair

See my clock
Spinning and spinning
Don't know
Which clock-hand is winning
Join the game
Start spinning away
Slowly feel my body
Melt away

I spin my chair
With one last cheer

Suddently in outer space
Floating around
Moving slow
Until everything
Starts to glow
Aliens come in peace
Offer me some fine cheese
Don't know what to say
It's a crazy day

Sunshine blinds me
I've never seen
Such a warm smile
It's worth my while
The warmth embraces me
Warms my skin
I slowly start to grin
The sun is my best friend


It's a weird poem thing, but if you can imagine the things I describe and that spacing feeling.. You will really understand this poem.
You don't understand what I mean or just want me to explain the whole thing ?
Then feel free to mail me!
