Walter W. Krijthe
Met trots melden wij u dat eind februari 2008 de eerste exemplaren van Dichtgetijden, geschreven door Walter W. Krijthe, van de drukpersen zijn gerold. In Dichtgetijden vindt u een veelzijdigheid aan gedichten, waarin humor en een originele kijk op de wereld de belangrijkste kenmerken zijn. Gevoelige poëzie wordt afgewisseld met vrolijke limericks, een traan wordt gevangen in een kwinkslag. Walter Krijthe is in 1966 geboren in Groningen. Hij groeide op in het dorp Makkinga, waar hij zijn eerste gedichten schreef. Inmiddels is hij tien jaar werkzaam in de ICT en woont hij alweer 6 jaar in Zaandam. De laatste twee jaar is hij, mede dankzij de websites Verhalensite.com en Dichttalent.nl, frequenter gedichten gaan schrijven, waarbij het leven in het algemeen en zijn vrouw Yulia in het bijzonder bron van inspiratie zijn. http://www.freemusketeers.nl/index.php/pagina/boeken/aktie/details/boek/916/dichtgetijden.html

1 AnswerPoetry1 decade agoPainful Silence?
Our love is not what it used to be
The hurt and pain is all we see
It is a shame to let it all end
But there is no way for us to pretend
All our arguments have ended
All we hear is painful silence
No more sounds of breaking hearts
All that's left is painful silence
No matter what I try to do
There's just no getting through to you
And all the while you feel alone
Because my heart is walled with stone
Our feelings are all history
All we've got is painful silence
We don't hear our cries for help 'cause
They are drowned in painful silence
The end is closer than the start
The emptiness within my heart
And your heart must be filled once more
A new world lies outside our door
There is no way that we can stay
And survive this painful silence
Outside our home we'll take the road
Away from our painful silence
All our arguments have ended
All we hear is painful silence
No more sounds of breaking hearts
All that's left is painful silence

10 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade ago- Seasons -?
It's reggae in the forest
as autumn sets the scene
the trees are decorated
in red and gold and green
It's ballet in the forest
out on a winter's night
in black the snowflakes dancing
all dressed in crystal white
It's 60's in the forest
when spring is in the air
the fields are dressed in flowers
dew diamonds in their hair
It's bounty in the forest
when summer sun shines bright
a richness of green colours
warmed in the golden light

2 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoA heart breaks easier alone?
A heart breaks easier alone
When no one sees you crying
When no one notices at all
That inside you are dying
A heart breaks easier alone
When they all think you're crazy
That when you crawl back in your bed
The whole world thinks you're lazy
A heart breaks easier alone
And there's no way to mend it
To stop the heart from breaking more
You simply have to end it
A heart breaks easier alone
Without a love to heal it
And finally the breaking's done
When you no longer feel it

Young Judy, the editor of a trivia publication, was having trouble with her computer. So she called Prem, the computer guy, over to her desk. Prem clicked a couple buttons and solved the problem.

And he replied, "It was an ID ten T error."
A puzzled expression ran riot over Judy's face. "An ID ten T error? What's that ... in case I need to fix it again??"
He gave her a grin... ;-)
"Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?"
"No," replied Judy.
