Truth be told Story Slam

Shipwreck Poetry

Clunk. Wakeup Poetry.

Violins – Heartache poetry

Concrete Poetry

Mornings clasp my soul.
Wet cement wraps possibility.
Moses, Oh Moses
breathe back the waters.

Wading. Only waist deep
false freedom rejoices.
My legs are trapped.

When with death
set hard like concrete
the slurry of mourning?

Ferocious Love

rabbid dog howls,
lathering infection,
spits at love.

rampant yawns,
sharp teeth tell,
none shall pass.

ferocious pacing.
small cage.
waiting for prey.

striped by love,
blackened fear
flicks the tail

Can a computer really make personalized poetry?

You may not believe that a computer can make you a customized poem that matches your personality, beliefs and world view just by scanning your brain with some geeky-techno-helmet-thingy.

This knocked my socks off, leaving me speechless. I honestly sat down for an hour wondering “What just happened?”

Poem Catcher tests the BRAINS ON ART computer at the Frankfurt Bookfair

My Little Pony Fans ( a rather unexpected universe)

Watch with caution. This will open your mind to a hidden universe.

So many questions….
Perhaps I should go Poemcatching at Bronycon 2015?!

What do you think?

A gift to interview “Raja Alem” for The Italian Bookclub (on YouTube)

Raja Alem interview: http://youtu.be/KnHmtK90nug

An amazing priviledge to work with The Italian Book Club and to meet Raja Alem, winner of the LiBeraturePreis2014. This was a day with great poetic flow..from poemcatching …to interviewing worldclass authors about writing style, flow, Mecca, openheartedness and much more. Expect the English translation of “The Dove’s Necklace” soon.

Wilkommen liebe gaste..

It is my great joy to be Poem Catching at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany. Please write a fresh poem on a  “Book Theme”.

IDEAS
Maybe you are inspired by the feel of turning a page, the sound of a chapter ending, the smell of paper, your favourite author’s perfume, the curve of your favourite letter, the book you dream of writing, the perfect title, my publisher’s dream client …

Pages turn
The life of me.
Towards the end
The story unravels.
The plot is always clear
In hindsight.

I’d like to raise some money to help aspirational authors from South Africa publish their books.
