What If 

The writing went on for many years, of some I was very pleased and I also accepted that not every poem that I wrote could be a good as the other.


Once in awhile an incident or a happy event or a drama give me inspiration, or something that happened to myself or that I’ve seen or heard. Writing a poem sometimes give me the strength to go on, to be able to express myself in these little pieces.


People told me, you’ve got to do something with those poems, publish them they said. The question was, how do I do this, I didn’t know how to handle this. Till suddenly on Facebook I saw a message about putting your poetry into a book on this organisation calling Xlibris. So I contacted Xlibris and they gave me some information and explained a few things to me.

Sobre el autor

I was born the 4th of January in 1958. I became interested in writing, not just writing, ‘cause writing a book is only one story. I wanted to create, make new stories, over and over again. So I started writing poetry, not just a few lines but in a way nobody else does. A whole page with a whole new story.
In a simple manner, poetry for everybody, where one doesn’t need a dictionary to understand, feel and recognize what the poem is about. Everywhere I was, just started writing a few lines on a piece of paper or on a beermat. Sometimes these lines came easy, sometimes it took me many weeks to complete a poem.
