About Me

  • Hello! My name is Matty, I am a girl and I am 36 years old, I am from New Zealand, and I have written all the content on this website myself! (Apart from some help with editing sometimes)

    Writing for me is a way for me to show people that I love them, or for me to say something that is hard, or just to share something silly. A lot of the children’s stories involve characters in my real life, friends or toys! Even my kitty cat!

    I have some disabilities, and I do not think I am very smart at times. I need people to be patient with me. I get afraid a lot, I am a very sensitive and a gentle person. I don’t want anyone hurt and am always afraid I will hurt others.

    A lot of these poems were written for special people in my life, I have a lot of people in my life who I love A LOT!! Including my dearest friend Madison, who passed away in 2006.

    These poems and art works are mine. I hope no one ever uses them for gain without my permission, and one day I dream to have a book! If you wish to show others my art or poems, please link to the website directly and please do not republish without permission, this means you should ask me before you do anything with my work or words πŸ™‚ I often sell art and signed copies of my poems, if you ever wish to buy one contact me!

    If you wish to contact me, you can use the contact for on this website or try to reach me using twitter @MattyAngelNZ. Whatever email you enter in the email field will be saved for me to reply to, but will NOT be made public πŸ™‚ Your email address is not made public on any comments either!

    I am also an Artist and am usually working on an art project at the same time as a writing one! I hold a entry level certificate in Creative-Arts from Wel-Tec, a technical institute in Wellington. I have worked with other artists before on projects and love to paint. My art is very abstract sometimes.

    May you all who make it here find peace and happiness in your lives, now till the end. Please enjoy reading  and seeing everything and know I do enjoy feedback!

    ‘Tis a wonderful thing that you have done
    To share you poems with everyone
    It’s like taking a journey on a boat
    And keeping the heart alive and afloat

    I have visited islands of my dreams
    Sailed down rivers ,on leaves,in a stream
    I have ridden on horse -back unbridled,free
    And been a part of you in sharing of me

    You have shown me great insights
    On dark lonely nights
    And that mornings still come
    With the sun ,shinning bright

    The love that you share here
    Is more precious than gold
    And onto the hug love bear
    For ever …I’ll hold.

  • Hi Matty.

    I have been reading your poems and stories and think you are amazing. Whilst you might find it hard to talk to people in real life you definitely have a way with written words. Your sad poems make me feel sad and your happy poems put a smile on my dial!!

  • You do beautiful work…keep up the stories *smiles*

  • You have an amazing talent at being able to express yourself through the written word. I like the way you use stories to express your feelings and to add clarity to a topsy-turvy world, especially in Christchurch. You can arouse all my different emotions, depending on what poem or story I am reading. I laugh at some of the antics of Princess Nom Nom (sometimes I wish I could be an animal) and I can feel sorrow in some of the sad poems. I also like the photos you have added to this website. You have enriched my world by sharing yours.

  • My amazing, wonderful, sweet Matty. I’m so glad that you’re alive! Thank you for every day I get to share this planet with you πŸ™‚ Love and hugs and muah!
