I haven't been posting a lot on here lately. It seems that sometimes writersblock creeps up on me and doesn't let loose. Though also a reason is that I hope to receive more views and comments on my work. That's why I strated to post some poetry on Hubpages. As well as other articles. Please do check them out. Especially the poetry :)

Goodbye, so long

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:53:00 +0000

Originally I wrote this poem about a friends relationship. Though actually all of us may have had these feelings.

At first everything seems great. You start making plans together and it seems that you will be together forever. At least that's what you thought. In the end things don't always work out as you hoped and then you'll need to accept the fact that the love is gone.

Goodbye, so long

She wrote me those simple words
Though it sounded absurd
I didn't care
Knew I wouldn't have to fear
Those feelings coming near

She smiled, so lovely
I thought baby, you and me
We could be
So much more
But sometimes I'm not sure

Life feels like a lie
I don't even know why
But all I can do, is try
Try to understand love that is meant, to be

Fly away, feel free
Can't you see
We were meant to be

Colourfull skies
Bright lights
All days long
Baby, you make feel so strong
And eventhough we sometimes don't get along
We always make up
Don't give up
Because it's a new day!

I feel alive
With you by my side
Perhaps later on as my bride
The one to whom I confide
Every little secret I poses
No more, no less

Wish you the best
As we both move on
Say stay strong
My lady, my baby
All you used to be
Though now you're actually free

With each step
I think back
Of the times we had
Of all the good and bad
Deep within I even feel sad

That's just the way it is
We all move on
Goodbye, so long

I'd love to see some comments about this poem. So please do post a comment below!
Thank you

Write when you just feel like it

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 16:14:00 +0000

Sometimes you don't have any specific thoughts on what to write and most likely it won't be something great. It's more to pass some time. Well then set your mind on go and just flow about anything! Most of the times some sentences are really nice and can be used in other other poems. I have written a lot of poems and let's say 20% of them are actually good. Though the other 80% were great to just write a bit. Later on I combined some of the best sentences of those poems and with those I'd create a new great poem.
You could also edit one of those poems which aren't that great. Just adjusting a few sentences can make a poem about a whole different subject. Take out some mistakes, adjust the flow a bit, add some sentences to it and give it a new title. You might have created a whole new poem!
So start editing some old poems and be amazed.
Good luck!

When Worlds Clash

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:04:00 +0000

I wrote this poem a few years ago. It's not hard to figure out what it's about. It's a bit simpel but a strong poem so I thought: "Why not post it". Hope you like it!

When Worlds Clash

I live somewhere
You will never be
Another world
You cannot see

We differ so much
Because we are from other places
Though I love your touch
Wouldn't change a thing about you

My world consists
Out of a lot more violence
Your world consists
Out of a lot more violins

I from the street
Where people come and go
Dealing weed
For a bit dough

You from a mansion
Etiquettes and nice dresses
On our first date
You didn't even mention

How can it be
That we
Can co-op this friendly

My friends can't stand your sight
Yours don't even try to like
Someday we end up in a fight
There is no more to do
Then hold on tight

We will be drivin apart
When that day comes
There will be a hole in my hearth
Hopefully that day won't come fast
Hopefully we will last

Back on track

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 10:59:00 +0000

It's been a while since I've written consistently, but I'm back.
It's time to post something again.
I have been quite busy writing since my last post and hope to share my new poems with you. I'll be posting something every week. Most of my new posts will have some of my own poems in them, but I'll also be writing about things that might inspire you ofcourse. Hopefully you'll stay tuned!
Thank you and keep on writing!

Where to write?

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Thu, 19 May 2011 22:50:00 +0000

When I started of writing, I always wondered where I could get the most exposure. For a starting writer it's important to have people read his poetry and reviewing it. Only then, you can improve.
So where do you start? Well I'm not sure, though I can tell you where I started. That was at writing.com. It's a great site with a very large and nice community. It's an easy to use site, though may look a bit overwhelming at first. What else can you do? You could of course start a blog like I did. But I must say that it is hard to attract visitors at first. That's why I combined my writing.com profile with my blog. Putting up a link to my blog on writing.com and posting only a few poems on it. Referring most of the people to my site for more poems. This worked quite well and gave my blog a bit of recognition. I highly recommend that you do so to.
Of course there are many more websites where you can post your poetry and have people review it, though writing.com has become my favorite because of it's community. You can always register at multiple sites and refer to your blog, though this worked for me and I never had the need to post the same poems at multiple sites. It seemed a bit strange to me.

I hope I've been a bit of help to you and don't forget to check www.writing.com.

Never give up!

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 11:39:00 +0000

It's been a while since I wrote here. I can't really explain why. I have been trying to explain why for an hour now, but I just can't. That's why there is nothing else to do then to move on. Hopefully we can agree on that.

In life there will always be times where you think that giving up might be better. It's easier, though not the right option. Giving up is never an option. People have told me to give up a lot of things. I never did. I just kept on trying, moving on and giving it my all. In the end I proved many wrong, there was no need to give up because I did what they said I couldn't do. The same goes for writing. Many may say that your writing isn't good enough even may say it sucks. Then what? Just keep on writing. It only gets better and who says that those saying it sucks aren't just jealous? Many famous people only got famous because they never gave up. That's why you shouldn't give up either.

Inspiration?

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:47:00 +0000

Today I had some friends over asking me about my blog. They tried helping me by naming things that could inspire people to write. The first thing they said was weed. It's no secret my friends and I smoke some weed sometimes. It's legal here so what's the problem? As long as you know your limits, right? So they said weed and coming to think of it, it does help you think creative, though really inspiring you to write? I have written enough times under influence of weed and I must say that it helps. The only problem is that you think you're doing a great job, but that may not always be so. Enough times I would read what I wrote the day after and most of the time it's not good at all. Funny is that you will write about the most philosophic questions ever or think of subjects you usually won't think of. That's something great, because when you read it you can start making adjustments and make something good out of it. Then you get an exciting, crazy, perhaps great poem. Here is a poem I wrote when I was under influence : Never This Chill

Now does weed inspire you or not ?
I think it's safe to say it inspires you, but writing when under influence is a different story. Also keep in mind that when you're under influence you won't be in the mood to write. You'll most likely want to sit, laugh and eat.
One last thing, there are many ways to be inspired, try those instead of weed. Especially when it isn't legal!

Rage

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 10:58:00 +0000

Ever had that insane feeling of rage ? Well so did I. I guess everyone has that feeling once in a while. It can have many reasons. I also had many reasons. Rather then talk about them, I wrote about them. It's easier for me.

Rage

All this rage
It makes me feel locked up in a cage
I don't know how it appeared
But it happened and is what I feared
I can't control myself

My words don't seem to be mine
I feel this need to commit a crime
People with offers I can't decline
I pay the fine
Not with money
But with a piece of me
I make myself pay
Every single day

I want my enemies to decay in the dirt
Want to tear of their shirt
They will be hurt

Promises and lies
On which everyone relies
Devote myself to this type
I trust, I mistrust and see no light
I won't give up
Without a fight

I am suspicious
That is what makes me vicious
Evil is what haunts my soul
My life has no goal

Words can be stunning
Can be be used in ways that are cunning
I keep on running
For my mistake
This whole world is fake

Wish I never went astray
Followed the wrong way..
Wish I could undo that day

But here I am
Still nothing of this has happened
But in prospect
This could happen
But with my friends
The trust
The hope
And everything else I have
I won't fall into evil ways
That is stated now
Right here on this place

As some of you may notice. It sounds more like a rap and in the end it seems like I don't really have those thoughts yet. Though I had some. Perhaps still have some. At least the end also has something really true in it. With good friends and all they give there is no way you'll end up living your life with anger and hate. So the inspiration of this message is both friends and write what you feel. Write down all the feelings you have and feel relieved, though perhaps also shocked.

Vacation!

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:13:00 +0000

I didn't mention it before, but I went on vacation in a kind of hurry. I didn't even have the time to leave a post about it! Well, now I'm back and ready to write on.
But first I want to tell you about my great vacation. I went to Hersonissos, one of the best places to party. I went with a group of 8 and we rented this mansion which was awesome. It had everything! When I first saw it I forgot about all the cool parties and stuff in the city. I only wanted to spend my time in that mansion. After we went to the first club those thoughts were all gone. I've met a lot new people and had a lot of fun. If you're planning to go to a cool place to party then that is the place to be! At least in Europe. Oh and The Netherlands of course!

Something really inspiring is a good vacation! Everyone needs to take a vacation once in a while. Relax a bit and get relieved from all that stress. Hopefully you'll be going on vacation soon!

The importance of music

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 23:28:00 +0000

What many of you starting poets don't understand is the importance of music. I don't say that you can't write without, though music is a really good inspiration source. Most people hear at least one song a day! Most likely you hear more songs a day. These songs you hear, somehow influence you. Like when you hear this sad song and it stays in your head, then you most likely will write a sad poem or anything in that direction. Many deny this, but come on. It really does influence you even though you might not notice it directly. So I say why not use this in your advantage. If your sick writing all these sad poems, why not put on a happy song and try writing something then. See what happens and maybe you'll write something happy instead!
Good luck to all and write on!

Hup Holland!

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 00:51:00 +0000

Finally I have some time to add a blog post! Perhaps some soccer fans are reading right now and I would like to tell them that I believe that Holland will win the world cup! So what does this have to do with poetry, inspiration or just anything in this category? Well seeing your country doing well at just anything is something to be inspired by, right? Be inspired by the great things your country does. By great things many people think like helping other countries rebuild and stuff. Though it also can be seeing your country do well in a soccer game and perhaps winning the world cup! Just about anything in short.

My last word is Hup Holland Hup!! Don't be afraid to support your country.

On tour

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:28:00 +0000

I have been gone for a while, again. After I got out of the hospital I had 2 days rest and then I got some invitations from all kinds of places to come by and to read my poetry and perform with some of my friends who have a band. So we went on a sort of "tour". Going to 5 cities performing and having fun. It was great! Gaming and checking shops in the morning and partying, performing at night. People loved us and I think we will be going "on tour" more often now! Forgot to tweet in the time we were "on tour" though I was thinking of all you readers. I tried writing some new things, but for some reason I couldn't. Not because there was nothing to inspire me around, but because we were always planning on what to do next and how to get to the next spot. Something that inspired me along the road was people saying how much they liked my work and would be checking the blog more often now. A real morale boost! Also the band was doing great and has gained a lot of fans.
The next time I'll take my laptop along and give you updates on what I'm doing and stuff. Perhaps people in Holland can come and see me then!
So what am I planning to do now? Not much.. perhaps try to write and hang out with my friends. At least that's the plan for the coming 2 days.

Beaten into the hospital

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 01:03:00 +0000

I've been away for a while again. I know this isn't what we agreed on, but again I have a good reason. I have been in the hospital. Explains the title, right? How it happened? I met an old friend of mine and he decided to even things for something that happened two years ago. So he and his friends beaten me up.. very bad. They left me after they were done hitting the lights out of me. Luckily someone found me and called an ambulance. No serious damage but the doctor said it could have been worse, I was lucky. I still look a bit bruised, but ready to get back to writing. Well actually I started in the hospital. Here is what I wrote.

Old friends

What happened in the past
Was a whole lot different
As what happened last

I was an idiot
I admit
Though you were the one
Who dragged me in it

A big fight
In the middle of the night
Two against five
We fought as if it was for our life

Though it wasn't enough
We got beaten up
Until I saw my chance and ran
Left you back there in shock

I apologized in many ways
For many days
Though you never accepted
And so we left it

Now 2 years later
You come up to me
Calling me a traitor

Standing with your new friends
Rubbing your hands
Knowing I don't stand a chance

I am stuck and out of luck
Preparing to fight
A helpless fight
Knowing there is a dark end in sight

Waking up in a hospital
Remembering little
Memories come back with the days
As the pain stays

The police asks questions
I don't reply
If I have to
I lie

Why would I
Do this
After all you've done
Because this time
I won't run

Perhaps I deserved to be beaten up, but not beaten into the hospital. At least that's what I think. How about you ?

Passed!

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 01:18:00 +0000

Today everyone got a message from school if they passed their exams or not. I passed all my exams with eights! All of them! Everyone was saying it would be impossible for me to pass, but I proved them wrong. Now I can fully enjoy my vacation and do whatever I like. Even my boss came to my house to congratulate me. I've also been invited to a party so I can celebrate my graduation partying. These sort moments inspire the most, important things that happen in your life. Though today I didn't have the time to write something. I think I'll write something tomorrow. Hope all people out there waiting for their exam results also pass. Well I'm of! I think I'll post a new poem tomorrow so stay tuned.

Performing poetry

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:51:00 +0000

Tonight I'll be performing 2 of my poems for an audience in AMSTERDAM!! Yes the capital of The Netherlands! A cool coffee shop where I sometimes hang with friends asked me to perform after they had seen my blog. It's Wednesday so there will be a lot of people and I'm actually kinda nervous, but also excited. I haven't performed before so I searched for some tips and found this site http://www.wbaf.co.uk/hints-and-tips-performance-poetry. I like the tips and think it will help me, perhaps it will help you to. Oh and the poems I'll be performing are Shattering and Never this chill. The owner asked me to do those because he liked them the most and thought people there would like these most. I don't mind and think he's right. Especially Never this chill will do good I think haha.

Wandering at night

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 08:46:00 +0000

2 days ago I had an argue with my parents that made me so angry that I decided to leave home. So I left home in the middle of the night and went out in search of something better. I wandered the streets of the city and everything was silent. Until I stumbled upon an old man. After a talk with him I went back home and decided to write about this experience. That's what I'm working on now. A poem called An old man. It might not sound that exciting, though I think you'll like to read it when it's done. I'll post it soon!
Finally something to inspire you. Taking a walk at night really does miracles and is perhaps more inspiring then you might have thought. At least it was for me! Try it, enjoy the silence and clear your mind.

I'm back online!

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 00:07:00 +0000

Okay, I'll start with apologizing for not blogging and not helping those who have mailed me! But before everyone starts getting mad again. I do have reason why I didn't blog. My internet has been down for almost 6 days now. So blogging was a bit hard. Though now I'm back and ready to blog on. I'm going to be blogging a bit more now. I've got mails from people asking me what I'm writing at the moment and stuff. So since you seem to find that interesting. I'll be blogging a bit more about what poems I'm working on and how I get to writing such poems. Hope this will get you people a bit more excited to read more. Also if you would really like to know everything I'm up to. Then follow me on twitter! I just started a twitter. I'd be happy to react to your tweets!

Be inspired by teamwork

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:06:00 +0000

You can write alone, but also together. Writing together is much more fun, makes it easier to write more in a short period of time and there is more creativity when you write together. You can also learn a lot from each other when writing together. Writing with someone you don't know personally may be strange but you might learn a lot from it. Of course writing with friends or perhaps family is a bit easier because you know each other better. Though when you decide to write together with someone, make sure you're on one line with each other or else you'll only end up fighting.
So write together and inspire each other to write as good as you can!

Be inspired by just listening

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 23:05:00 +0000

Yesterday I was sitting at a bar with some friends. Having a few drinks and laughing a bit. Then I heard these two guys talking kinda loud. So I started listening to what they were saying. They were talking about some deep stuff. About war and why people actually seek war. That inspired me to also write something about war and the real reasons for war. At least from my point of view and perhaps that of many others. So you see that listening to just anyone can inspire you. Of course don't forget that listening to you friends also is a great way to be inspired, but you may have noticed already. One last thing, some people might not like you eavesdropping on their conversation so be careful when you do it and it isn't a real polite thing to do either, but there are enough people who'd love to tell you what they are talking about when you ask!

Be inspired by nature

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Sun, 30 May 2010 01:14:00 +0000

Another inspiring concept which seems so obvious, though so much people don't let them selves be inspired by nature. Some take a walk a trough a small forest and then say hmh that wasn't really inspiring. Na of course not if you just walk trough. Watching everything around you is what really makes it inspiring, every little thing. There aren't just trees, leafs, grass and perhaps a little bird. No there is so much more! First get your butt of that road! Just walk into the forest, not on a path, make your own path. Then realize what's around you, look at all those little creatures and beautiful plants. How they live, how they survive and how great that is. You'll discover so much more then when you just walk on a path. Doing this alone may be a bit boring if your not such a fan of walking alone trough a forest, so bring a friend. Doing this has brought me onto some nice subjects to write about. Hope it will help you to!

My exams

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Sat, 22 May 2010 01:18:00 +0000

I haven't been keeping my blog up to date, but there is a reason. I have had my exams. Well not all of them yet. I still have two more exams to go and then I'm finally done.
But the day before my exams I wrote this little space poem. By space poem I mean a poem I wrote after smoking some weed.

Though I promised myself not to smoke any weed the day for my first exam, I did. Around 3 AM I started smoking to relax because I really was stressing myself out by thinking of my first exam. I don't know what my friends gave me, but I had an awesome space and this is what I wrote in it.

Never this chill

I sit and spin
On my chair
Don't care
That daylight's near
Not even my exams
Can stress me out
I'm in a perfect space
Without a doubt

I can see
Armies fight
Right here, on my desk
Airplanes fly by
Dropping air supply
Explosives go boom
And fill my whole room
With a flash and a bang

I spin my chair

See people on TV
Looking right at me
Asking me
If i'm doing fine
I tell them
That i never had a better time
They laugh and clap
I take a bow and end the show

I spin my chair

See my clock
Spinning and spinning
Don't know
Which clock-hand is winning
Join the game
Start spinning away
Slowly feel my body
Melt away

I spin my chair
With one last cheer

Suddently in outer space
Floating around
Moving slow
Until everything
Starts to glow
Aliens come in peace
Offer me some fine cheese
Don't know what to say
It's a crazy day

Sunshine blinds me
I've never seen
Such a warm smile
It's worth my while
The warmth embraces me
Warms my skin
I slowly start to grin
The sun is my best friend

It's a weird poem thing, but if you can imagine the things I describe and that spacing feeling.. You will really understand this poem.
You don't understand what I mean or just want me to explain the whole thing ?
Then feel free to mail me!

Be inspired by music

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Mon, 17 May 2010 17:04:00 +0000

I don't have to tell anyone that music can inspire you. It is one of the easiest ways to be inspired and depending on what kind of music you listen, you can write a poem. I mean like when you listen sad music, writing a sad poem will be a lot easier then when listening happy music. At least for most people.

for an instance, I was listening to "Kenna - War in me" and I felt this urge to write. It really inspired me to write a great poem. Perhaps it will inspire you to.

Inspiration to write ?

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Fri, 14 May 2010 23:10:00 +0000

Many people seem to have a problem finding inspiration. Something that gives you the urge to write. Well I don't see why someone would have any problems finding inspiration to write. Everywhere around you there is something that may inspire you. For those who have a hard time finding inspiration, I'll be posting about what may inspire you, every week at least once.

The first poem I ever wrote

noreply@blogger.com (Nimm) — Fri, 14 May 2010 19:36:00 +0000

Here is my first poem and a bit about how I started writing. I started writing about a year ago, when I got caught smoking weed. Everyone was mad at me and I felt helpless. So 2 days after I got caught, I smoked again with some friends and when I got home I started writing. It felt great as if I finally could let out what I felt. I wrote shattering.

Shattering

It's like, suddently you're alone
Silent
Nothing matters
Everything slowly dissapears
Nothing matters
Dying within
Everything is shattering
Hearing only the shards hitting the ground..
This sensless stare
You feel it creeping
The end is near
You know it
You feel alone
Entering the zone
It's getting darker
There go the lights
The last thing you think is
Sorry

At that moment I felt like dying and helpless. I could only think about all the stupid things I did and how I let some people down. I thought the last thing I would say before dying would be sorry and so I ended it. I think a lot of people can imagine the moments I describe and also know the thought that if they would die they would most likely say sorry for the stupid things they did in life. At least when my friends read this they understood every single word and also knew the sorry feeling. From that moment on I started writing.
