For some time now, Corina-

The cosmology of budgies-

Indeed!

Amigo!

Now for the poem

This poem isn't bad at all and I do like the images, but-

"Cutting free" sounds musical to me-

The adjustments make a difference-

Yellow star- ()

A fine Haiku this one-

Interesting exchange here-

I like this one, Corina-

Seven is enough-

Your feet may touch the ground-

That persona-

A fine rhythm in this one and- ()

Such a pleasure -

Si simple, so real- ()

A child's awakening-

"To everything; turn, turn, turn, are the opening words-

Conversations about- ()

Beauty and divinity ()

I caught a glimpse of the internet trailer-

Good!

The capturing of vital details-

Existence, fairytale and mythos- ()

Except for mathematics those are a few of my favourite fields. Nevertheless-

That's a captivating place, Corina-

Gratefully I observe that star-

Thanks a lot and maybe-

As a song/dance-

Corina!

That's a very good suggestion, ion!

Splendid!

I guess it's appropriate to regard-

Thank you-

I join in the praise. ()

Quite preferable-

In that case, Romulus-

Why, Romulus?

A happy New Year to You too, Corina!

Ah- ()

The children of the wind-

Absolutely, Veronica!

Yes ()

Re: Jon Fosse's plays.

I must have been distracted by the time-

To a large extent, Gunsel-

Intoxicating words, Laura!

Ditto, S.H.!

You could be short just as well. Gunsel-

In fact this small correction does a lot-

Spiritual and existential lines, Romulus-

I really appreciate-

Absolutely intriguing, Dan, but-

Expressive indeed, Marius-

I raise my glass, Corina, though-

As Corina-

I'm still a student, Gunsel-

Since Sapfo's days-

As much as I would like-

How nice, Gunsel! ()

Since Christ was jewish- ()

Ooops!

Diana and Corina-

I like the mood in this one- ()

Thanks a lot, Monica!

And when she starts singing-

Ooops!

You may easily get into that Xmas moos, Corina-

Not half bad, but-

Your statement about clarity-

I see- ()

Ravens are extensions of their own fear-

Thanks a lot, A-T! This is a kind of travesty effect-

Regarding incast

Robert Johnson was one of the foremost blues poets-

Yes, but I must insist, though-

A toast for Hertha Müller-

The description of october here-

Hatred, war and guntoting- ()

Relaxed? ()

Å profound conclusion- ()

Such is-

If there were stars for good comments, Gunsel-

As Adrian Henry put it:

Okay, but don't you think-

You may not be able to imagine that-

One of the great advantages-

Marius! ()

Interesting, really- ()

Rich images in this one- ()

A little quote from master Bob-

In fact, Corina-

P.S:

Excellent, of course, Mazhur-

All wrapped up, Ion?

Thanks a lot; Laura,

Biography John Willy Kopperud

First years spent in various towns surrounding the Oslo fiord. Grew up in a suburb east of the city, both near to and withdrawn from my numerous peers. Significantly radicalized at the age of fourteen. Grew disappointed with the revolution and signed up for the magical mystery autumn 69. Radicalized once more. Dropped out once more. Fairly well educated during the 80's and 90's.
Poetry? Off and on, I'd say. Besides poems I have weitten both pop lyrics (plus lyrics for contemporary music)and short stories. What moves me? Imagination I guess. Imagination should not contradict everyday life (and the other way around.)
I must hold forth that good old Willie S. has quite a point when he gives fair warning regarding "The man who hath no music in himself."
Music? I have mentioned pop lyrics - to be more precise - most of these are connected to the singer/songwriter tradition. Concrete and melodious music. I have also been active in another musical area,
in the crossroad between music and noise. This is not academic sheet-music, it's rather built on improvisation and momentary exploration. Later on the product has been technically modified. Roar Borge My accomplice in the project "Fisk på Disc" available with the MP3 Album "School of fish'n'chips" through the net-distrubutor, TibProd. He has done the producing in his home studio on his own computer. The album is no. 53 in the companys catalogue and the address is : http://www.tibprod.com.
Ten tracks on the net for you to download. Be my guests!

My wife, Kristin, is responsible for some very nice poetic lyrics. For some of that material I have written
pop/singer-songwriter music.

Married to my life companion at the age of 33.One child. We live in a suburb some six kilometers from where I grew up.
Career: No big deal. Life: Good. Hardships: Yes
Happiness: Yes.
