And....good Golly!

Since music is one of my favorite occupations...

Despite...

And here's one... ()

Dan saw it...

I perceive this poem...

I wouldn't need to fit in, Simona...

When reading this... ()

I second Marius' opinion...

Sounds heavy, Felix...

I certainly appreciate...

Alas... ()

This is a piece with some fine imagery!

Romulus, don't you think...

Marius!

A question of form...

There...

Interesting, but some revision needed...

A most welcome response...

Once again....

Quite visual, this poem... ()

A recognizabe state of existence... ()

Graceful creatures they are, Corina!

That's better!

So nice...

Touching really...

Still I read "the" patience. It's not proper English ...

Not half bad...

That's what I call poetry workshop...

A good idea indeed, Marius...

Please, drop "the" at the beginning of your last line ...

So nice, Marius....

Viel dank, Marius!

A very good idea...

Ooops..we are such STUFF

"We are such stuss as dreams are made on"... ()

Just a few images...

Simple, beautiful...

The smoke carrying the DNA... ()

"a place to confess." ()

Across the universe...

Mmmm...

A plea for forgiveness... ()

Just a shimmy with that old devil..

A creepy sense... ()

One line comes to mind:

I don't think "by chance" is the right expression here...

Thank you, Edilberto...

Last saturday, Marius...

This is really remarkable, because...

Marius, I was not inclining that you were unaware...

Sweet, but sadly conventional.

It's coherent, no big flaws...

A fine tribute to a great musician, Marius, however...

Mask, teeth, whatever, Monica...

Comprende, Feilx...

Edilberto, thanks a lot and you know...

A toast, Marius...

I really appreciate...

Thanks a lot, Corina!

Felix, in what way...

Just leave me with... ()

Time and space...

And so...

I see you rhyme as good... ()

Clouds clotted in wartime and a splendid finale... ()

P.S...

Indeed, Felix...

Enjoyable imagery...

I accept this now as a Haiku...

I perceive this...

Someties stereotypes are...

Dan Marius...

A profound change, Monica... ()

Monica...

Thanks a lot, Corina! In addition...

The mood of the season...

Melancholia...

Alas...

I liek this idea too, Chris, though...

Splendid Cabernet cabaret....

As a comment to this...

Good to hear, Corina...

Of course it is invented, Marius...

Those darned birds!

A good piece of poetry...

So sweet, yet not at all sentimental.. ()

Some errors here:

Taking me back...

Grammar/syntax is a lot better now...

The bus is...

Please; no longer can she see me...

The succession of words in English is...

Wise words

You're so right

Thank you Corina!

Please...

A toast...

Some poems seem...

A small and very well-shaped silent movie... ()

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.
