By now you should already noticed that I am a bit strange. 😉 But I can promise you, I am totally harmless! (most of the time…)

Anyways, let me tell a bit more about me and my writings.

I started writing poetry after my big brother died when I was 14 to find a way to express my feelings. But it wasn’t until 2013 when I started to actually publishing my poems on a blog. Before, I just never had the courage to share my deepest and mostly dark feelings with anyone. I was just writing to save my sanity. (can’t say that worked though) 😉 But I got so much support that I started to write more and more. And I am loving it!

Because I let it out now every once in a while by writing, I was able to tame the beast and be the person who I am today. Me, without restrictions or suppression.

At the same time that I started to blog my poems, I also wrote a young adult fantasy novel that got published in April 2014 in Holland and won the third price for Best Fantasy Novel 2014!

I have publishing my very first poetry book called My Wings in March 2014 and my second poetry book called My Whisperings in November 2014. You can find the information about both these books on THIS Page.

I have written this book under the name Just Patty.

Why the name ‘Just Patty’? Because writing poetry is a naked reflection of the heart and soul, nothing more and nothing less. It’s Just Me without decorations.

My poetry describes some very recognizable emotions like: grief, fear, frustration, melancholy, depression, Love, motivation but also the strength and courage to battle on no matter what.

Now, fast forward to 2023… At this time, 7 of my fantasy books are traditionally published in the Netherlands and Belgium and have many enthusiastic readers!

But now I feel it’s time that the dragons in my stories spread their wings and fly all over the world. So, as of the summer of 2023, An Unbreakable Bond will be available in English in e-book and paperback!

  3. Patty, I’m back on WordPress. Lost all my contact info and started up a new channel. Finished writing my three novels too. If you are looking for duets again, I have a lot in tank.

    P.s. the blog still looks great.
    Keep your pen busy!!!

  7. Patty,

    This is mind-blowing stuff.

    You balance visual and written art, dragon themes, body ink, dark poetry and wrap it all up in a passionate love of life.

    Simply awesome, I am totally blown away just in the few minutes I have spent here.

    I just gotta do my version of that photo of man and dog by Dominik – could not believe the similarities I saw there.

    Just quickly on tat’s :- they sure go more than skin deep. But I prefer to etch my thoughts on stone, rather on skin – eternal concepts need a long-lived medium.

    I will be back to enjoy lots more of your poems in piccies later,

    • Thank you so much Noetic! 🙂
      Stone is an excellent choice if you want something to last for a long time.
      Do you have a blog or site with your work? I would love to see it.
      Lots of love,
      Patty

      • Hi there,

        Thank for the reply. I did send an email to your “uppie kat” address on Friday, but maybe that address has expired – it’s over a 1000 days since you last mentioned it?

        I sent you some photo-haiku by email, can’t put this in a wordpress comment …. (my ???@gmail.com to follow later today)

        I am a nomadic noetic :-)) I have had wordpress, facebook, and poetry profiles – even hosted some web pages of my own. But most of all I love to travel the internet, reading at, and writing on, other people’s sites.

        Laters,
        N

      • HI Patty my name is Damaris I am in 10th grade and I am doing a project on one of your poems it´s called ¨Shattered Trust¨your poems are amazing and can you ask why you wort this poem and how did you feel ? If you can email that will be amazing me thanks

      • Hey Damaris,
        Thank you, I am humbled 🙂
        I wrote Shattered Trust after I found out that a very dear friend of mine was lying to me.
        It felt like betrayal and it really hurt because of all the people around me, I thought that this person would never ever hurt me.
        But he did and I wrote about it, like I always write about stuff that trigger heavy emotions. It’s a good way to deal with the pain.
        Lots of Love,
        Patty

  10. Hallo mevrouw Patty van Delft.
    Ik wou u graag helpen met dit projekt om ook een website te maken waar iedereen erover kan praten en zich veilig kan voelen maar ik wou dan uw fotos gebruiken als het mag.
    Ik zou ook uw website noemen zodat iedereen weet dat er meer mensen zijn die an hun denken.

    groeten uit NL
