More About Me and My World
Kimmy Van Kooten, first and foremost is a wife and mother of 11 children.
Kimmy spends what little free time she has, "freelancing", her poetry,
short stories, pen and ink drawings,
photography and graphic design works, while incorporating God, her family life,
growing up on the farm , trials of life, nature,
romance and a little humor of course!

"I like the variety in life
seen through my eyes of
everything I write..."

From the Upper Lake in northern New Jersey,
to the lower Lehigh Valley in Allentown , PA...
to the sands of Daytona Beach and, now...
the quiet and quaint of Saint Augustine, Florida~
I have Lived!...therefore, I write!
Kimmy is th 7th child of 16, so, to find a hiding place
to collect a bit of silence in some little nook,
was and still is, her quest, yes, even with their brood! :)

Favorite Music:
any music I can play my congas to!

Sharing My World



"Abstract Arches"

Out of a realm in some auriferous sky
beyond thoughts beckoning, impossibilities of my . . .
Made up animations . . . animating subsistence
Fluttering amid further, while furthering the distant distance

Here . . . hear how me my soul shivers, and a Spirit heir airs
An enhanced accent assenting to e’er
I unravel an unreal, unreeled by injection
like the feel feel insertions of serried perceptions

Exposing sees . . . the one’s never quite seized
I’m in another express
Addressing the undressed, baring bearing’s unsown
Going with the flow I’m all on my own!

For no one impression just daubs in the daub
The idea of it all paints paintings on walls!
With unseen colors . . . it lets me, I am!
I draw . . . I gleam, I’m set, set free on the lam!

A Vorse is a Vorse, even, of course will be coarse
Bristled with distinction
I followed the tracks in a stupor through cracks
Up aisles of isles of wiles and back!

With shoed feet in feat . . . my will spanned in knacks
I hung out on a limb to nick the abstract
This golden arcade that arched my existence
Appeared in a wight's rite, right of the essence

Braiding braids through my heart, in ribband exacts
Nee bending here where no sinner’s rove lacks
In aught, I just ought, and in wrest, I am resting
I wade for the wading, In sane, I’m abrading

I get caught in this seine
let lucid escape . . . rising up to that ghat that rases the bane
With a stoned quean of Queens, and a King that was thronged
Who reigns with reins, rapping wrappings of wrongs?

Babbling brooks of my breath, tempt my unmeaning’s so quenched
Thirsty at best, a swallow’s down nests . . . so Blessed!
So, sow real the far-reaching and dig out deep-seats of reasoning . . . leach from cering!
Wake up! . . . seams seem like their peeling!

Sing songs unstayed
Your schematic Creator 's way, weighs!
Representational truth lives life all aloof
abducted obtusely with no context in use

Come, walk with me in a Netherworld of the untamed
In an array . . . a ray, directing life force of day
Defining humanness under the surface of consciousness
insinuates no assailable boundaries in this world of incompetence

Stirring, stir the pot of our ingrained imaginations
In an aesthetic spawning stew for improver rations
Culminate now, with all your smears and yore splotches
Reach for apprizing . . . a mad organism watches!

. . . In my unpredictable
In the here. . . In you. . .
in our,

Abstract Arches. . .

GO QUACK YOURSELF!! HAHAHA!!! NAAAA...you're good people ;) I'm gonna have to use that someday...I'll credit it to you, of course ;) Reminds me a bit of South Park, when they cut off the head of a chicken, played a cazzoo, and whatever square it landed on, that was the policy for the economy they  followed lol Just the same idea of something sounding absurdist! :P

You are so kind, Kimmy!   I can't tell you how much I appreciate your having taken the time and trouble to comment.  So you really like the poems?   It means so much, coming from you.

The feature was a complete surprise.   Don't feel I deserve the attention, 

but don't anybody try to take it back.;)  [Y'heah, Aberjhani? ;)]

Kimmy, I am having a hard time thinking about anything but your a r t !!

Photographs and drawings !!   They are f a n t a s t i c !!!   A n d you

play guitar a n d write?  Hon-nee, if I had 11 children. . .I, who am never

without a kazillion-quintillion things to say, am flailing about, unable to find

the right words to express my awe.

I paint a little, but I am a dabbler.

I haven't had time to do more than scan your poem.  As that prig Douglas MacArthur is said to have pontificated, "I shall return."

Heya Kimmy. I did a bit of minor editing on "The Emergence" and included the song that inspired it. I remember you liking that poem of mine. Swing by and check out! Let me know what you think :)
