I write stories and poems since I was 9 years old

My very first poem was:

'My hobby is to read
learning languages gives me glory
my teacher knows how to teach
and is telling a wonderful story'

I wrote my first poem in Dutch
and translated it into English
to publish it in my poem book
'What life has brought me',
it's a combination book
with English and Dutch poems

I wrote some of my new poems first in English and then translated them into Dutch

I write to process and to help others

I write poems about love, life questions, mourning and loss, pets and animals, being outside, sadness, fears and recognition about Trisomy-X-syndrome

I am my own publisher and choose for easy words, short sentences and a large font in all of my books

Some of my poems are in rhyme and some of them contain a combination of rhyme and another rhythm

The new poem book is available as a paperback book (printed version) and as an e-book (PDF-document)
