I always was a loner see, who couldn't express herself by voice Rather wrote thoughts down in verse, this seemed a natural choice When growing up to womanhood, I learned to controll my tongue Afraid to speak in public though, afraid to say something wrong I got myself more selfesteem and somehow it came to me If I wished them to understand, true and clear my speech should be That problem I have solved you know, even speak too much sometimes But never did I ceased to write my deepest thoughts in little rhymes One day when I was roaming the net, an English poetry site I'd hit And wondered if I could do that too, write English poems to submit I tried to translate a tiny one, that I had written some time before After that I tried another and then one day I wrote some more Finally I got the nerve, to submit my poems to that poetry site I didn't get much answers though, but they looked neat and tight On that site there was a Munda, she was from Dutch origine too She wrote such beautiful poetry, but then I needn't tell you There was a link to Passions in Poetry and curious as I've always been I clicked and came to Ron's blue pages and all those poems, to be seen I read and read and was hooked on spot and shyly submitted my first The replies I got were so nice meant, they all satisfied my thirst There was Munda, she welcomed me, and with her all you guys You read the poems I've written, but you never heard my sighs Sighs of trying hard, sighs of pure admiration, sighs of grief sometimes You made me a whole person, proud to share with you my rhymes You Have Become My Family Family Of Poetry Poetry In Passions Passions We Share You Care Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (07-14-2002 08:00 PM).] |

Dear Titia, you have brought such a breath of fresh air to this place. To attempt to write in another language, especially poetry, is an incredible undertaking and yet you have done it without fear and with style (and brought your wonderful mum along with you!) I admire your desire to succeed and your willingness to learn  |

I'm so glad you are here, I love reading your poems. I didn't realize you write them and then have to translate them into English. I'm so impressed; that's a lot of work.
