I turn people into poetry on a vintage typewriter. During parties, events, dinners or weddings, I make a personal poem on the spot for whoever sits at my table.
Let your guest experience a special moment with poet Janneke de Kler. Using her classic typewriter, she writes a personal poem especially for you on the spot. All you have to do is answer two to three short questions - about yourself, your day or what's on your mind - and Janneke transforms your words into poetry.
Her poems are intimate, spontaneous and unique. While you wait, you hear the ticking of the typewriter - a tangible memory is created literally before your eyes. The result: a hand-typed poem that you can take home, as a memento of a special day.
Be surprised by the power of words.
Guests can have a poem created individually, as a couple, as a family or
group of friends.
It is possible to personalize the poem cards with your logo on the back. Highly recommended as almost all poem cards are framed!

Janneke has a special gift. After a short conversation, Janneke types a sweet poem that touches you ... genuinely moved to tears. Very nice that you were at my daughter and son-in-law's wedding camp!

Can you make a poem of "our wedding camp?" ... it took her 3 seconds and then she said: YES, I already know! A poem that fits our wedding: just a tad different than usual, but it's right. It fits perfectly! It is going to be framed Janneke, thank you for being there and for giving our wedding a personal, warm glow. We received SO many messages from people talking about you and your talent! Received so many pictures of framed poems. Anyone considering using Janneke at their wedding or other event? DO. It provides the unique, the personal, the magical touch. Of course Janneke was also our BABS, which handled it so personally. The contact was right from the start. She is personal, flexible, and also very caring. And so it came full circle. Intimate, loving, tangible. For a lasting impression. Thanks thanks thanks thanks Janneke!

Inviting Janneke to a party or celebration is a gift to yourself and your guests. She has a fine way of getting to your core and then turns it into pearls of poetry. Mom's retirement party was very special because of Janneke's arrival and all the poems have now found a nice place. Besides being a wordsmith, Janneke is also a very sweet and warm-hearted person and a welcome guest. Thank you Janneke!

The first time I saw Janneke was at an entrepreneurial festival. I took a seat at her table to have a poem created. Janneke asked a few questions and began typing. When the poem was finished and she read it aloud, it touched me so much that I started to cry. I thought it was so special that she had put this on paper for me. When I decided to take the initiative for a Mourning & Celebrating greenhouse in Wageningen in 2024, I didn't have to think long about who I would like to invite to it. Janneke attended the Rouwen & Vieren kas for two days in December 2024 and moved and delighted many people with her beautiful poems. This year she is coming again. I am already looking forward to it. Thank you Janneke and keep up your beautiful work. Love from Ria

Janneke has the special gift of using poetry to capture and express essence in a way that deeply touches the heart and soul. She wrote a personal poem for me after an acquaintance of a few minutes which touched me deeply and was perfectly timed. how special is that! I recommend Janneke more than wholeheartedly. Her talent touches your heart and with her typewriter she deepens every event.

Janneke created a custom-made poem for me and with it she gave me an experience that is hard to put into words. It's incredible that after a few minutes (I don't think there were 5) someone can immediately say, "yes I got it!" and then write a poem that is so-so spot on.... It made me laugh, it made me cry, but most of all it gave me a feeling that can't be described, because it RAAKED so deeply! As a gift for someone dear to you (for example yourself :) I highly recommend having a poem written by Janneke. What an experience! I immediately bought a huge stack of poetry books for all my new clients. Every new client gets to experience the emotion, the art and especially the power of this form of poetry. What I find special about her poems: Janneke knows how to capture pure love in a poem without being sweet. Without fuss There is not a word too many. Every poem in the collection has something in it that is universal, that touches on that which moves you in essence. This is a book of poetry that leaves no one unmoved.

A poem written especially for you is special in itself. A poem Janneke creates for you is special, warm and fantastic!!! After a short interview, she gets to work. And then you get a poem. What that does to you is so much beauty and love. Janneke makes you feel that you are seen and heard by THE love. That is a wonderful feeling. Now still when I read it, I just feel pride and love that I too can be described in this way: still touches me. So I lovingly recommend it to everyone to do this for yourself or for someone you love. The concept of love can be described and put into words in different ways. How Janneke does this in her collection is moving: she lets love speak in every poem and connects this love to people, to their brave actions, their experiences and who they are at their core. It is a particularly beautiful gift how Janneke allows love to come back so naturally in every poem everywhere and yet each time a different angle.
