Godt Nytt År

I’ve been absent for far too long it seems. One of my resolutions for this year is to resume my updates. If only for my own record of progress, I feel that it may prove to be a useful incentive. The picture below has been …

The Unspoken Poem

Here is another poem that I wrote for Valentine’s Day. This one was actually written in the first days of January for someone close to me. She had made me a small book out of folded paper. It was about matchbox size. Within were ten pages with a front …

The Game

It’s been a busy summer all in all. Spain, Korea, China… back to Korea again. In between all of the travelling I’ve been working (to pay for it all) and becoming involved in something altogether unexpected. The one thing that hasn’t happened, however, is getting …

Love

I had wanted to write something for someone. Unfortunately, I found that my mind was blank even though, at that time, my heart was overflowing. I just could not come up with the words to any ‘traditional’ poem and so I came out with this …
