Tell us about yourself
I
am a social commentary and philosophical poet, who writes with
reflection on society and my understanding on life. I have been writing
for a few years now and have performed in a few venues in Bristol and
London
Tell me about your blog(s), name(s), what does it
mean to you?
My
blog is called poetrysoundbites / Kodjo Deynoo Poetry (K.D). The name
poetrysoundbites was chosen to define the wave beneath my poems, each
poem has an underlining meaning and message that allows the reader to
engage with his/her own thought on the subject matter. My blog is my
voice to the world in a sense, it is more of a definition of me as a
person, because I am not forced on condition to write to a particular
manner or a view point.
When have you started blogging?
Started
blogging in 2009, over the years I have seen many blogger come and go,
there are a few who are still fanatical like I am and have been around a
long while. I have made many friends with like minded views since I
started blogging. So far I have close to 200,000 hits and 4,500
comments on my blog so in some sense it could be considered
a successful blog
What's the theme(s) of your blog(s)? What do you
write most? poetry, fiction or novel, or short stories?
Mostly
short poems, and haiku on Saturdays a few short stories and Epic poems
as well. My theme is subjective to the notion I have in mind so it
varies from time to time, generally it is about social commentary,
philosophy and personal development.
What are the inspirations of your writing?
I
take inspiration from the people I come across, reading news articles,
politics and events from my everyday life. I enjoy nothing more than
having a conversation with an individual who is enlightened in life.
You are involved with Bluebell Books Short Story
Slam writing challenge? How do you feel about it so far? What's the benefits of
it?
Most
of us bloggers would have probably given up blogging long time a go, if
not for the communities sites such as Bluebell creates. I feel it is an
important sources of life and energy for bloggers
Do you have a favorite blogging friend(s) to share?

Every blogger is aspires one day to have his/her work published,
especially the literature based blogs. I have a lot
of things going on at the moment so I am not particularly chasing
the publishing dream, however I can see that changing in the near
future.
Do you have a
favorite book or author?
I enjoy reading books from Dan Brown and John Gresham
