Suzette Richards Biography

I am a retired bookkeeper and had relocated on 1 December 2013 to the Upper Karoo region in South Africa, after being born and raised in the Western Cape. It was a challenge to adapt to the very different lifestyle, but I had found it inspirational. I had relocated during June 2017 to the Low Veld: a semi-tropical area adjacent to the world-renowned Kruger National Park. My new house was situated in the Jock of the Bushveld Conservancy/Peebles Valley - a paradise! Lotus flowers in all colours of the rainbow grew in the dam in front of my house. Since December 2018, the Highveld has become my new home. South Africa has many amazing enclaves which welcome one with open arms - the adventure continues … I'm a poet that questions her environment and expresses her views via poetry. I am always open to the challenge to try new poetic forms - to date, I have mastered over 200 poetic forms and have designed forms that bear my name: Suzette Prime, Suzette sonnet and Suzcrostic, as well as The Tesla 3-6-9, and Phi poem.
