About Kai Michael Neumann

My pen-name is 'Lebensweg' or tree of life and the term says a bit about my philosophy. Since meeting my wife Tai, both she and I aspire to growing into poet trees in motion together, dancing with life and swimming like dolphins and often against the main stream. There is a moon theme in our love.

I spent decades in medicine and many years in psychology and lived in Germany, California, Wales and now reside in South Africa.

I am not a youngster any longer, but young enough and my career is currently that of an 'unemployed poet with a premature pension'.

I have five children of my own: Jana (24) Lisa (22) Finn(22) Johannes (22) and Moritz (21) and three 'stepchildren' age 12 to 18, quite eclectic so to speak.

I read, write, travel, exercise and garden and am a passionate critic of dogma of any kind...

Hi guys,

I have finished judging (very subjectively) my Pendulum contest. Thank you all for participating. I received 35 wonderful entries and had to boil it down to 10 winners. In a way that is quite horrible and at least very difficult. Please know, that I liked all entries and that I judged intuitively, of what touched me in one way or another. So please, do not be discouraged by not being placed this time. Keep on writing. It is an honour to read such wonderful poetry.
