Introduction
Hello all,
My name is Kris a.k.a. Chèvrefeuille. I am 58 and live in The Netherlands.
I am a poet and writer, and in daily life i work as an oncology nurse at a Nursing Home for the elderly people.
In my Newsletter i will share all things that keep me busy. So you can read my thoughts and ideas about our world today, but also examples of my poems and stories.
As i wrote i am a.k.a. Chèvrefeuille it's my “haigo” or pseudonym as a haiku poet. I am a haiku poet, maybe you are familiar with “haiku”, but i love to tell you a little about it.
Haiku is a classical Japanese poetry form, a three lined poem following the syllables count 5-7-5 (or as the Japanese say “onji”. Let me give you an example:
ancient warriors ghosts
mists over the foreign highlands -
waiting for the full moon

I love this wonderful small poem and i hope to tell you more about it in more posts following.
Ofcourse it's not all haiku right now, because there is so much happening in the world right now e.g. Covid-19 and Ukraine War. I have my thoughts about it and i think my thoughts about it can be experienced as “against the narrative”, but that's why i have chosen for Substack. I believe that Substack is for independent thought … and that's what we need now. A lot of socials are “corrupted” by censorship, as are the MainStream Media (MSM)
