The House of NEO
Pen to paper, we sweep the room,
The house of "NEO" in rhythmic bloom.
Dust off doubt, pull up a chair,
Make space for truth - let language air
Poets abound, collectively soar,
Geezer, Lavender, and many more.
A cauldron of words, cooked to perfection,
A laid-out feast with marvellous selection.
Here lines are tested, honed, refined,
By honest eyes and disciplined mind.
Not just to write, but weather the pen,
Neopoet makes poets - again and again

About Me
About me
I’m a poetry lover from Gqeberha who finds joy in words, rhythm, and creative expression. Writing poetry is my way of exploring emotion and imagination, and I’m constantly inspired by creative people and the art they make. When I’m not writing or reading, you’ll find me digging through vinyl records and getting lost in music’s timeless storytelling.
Location: South Africa, Gqeberha, ZAF
