jan Kapilu

From sona pona, the Toki Pona wiki

jan Kapilu (name glyph: Kapilu) is a Brazilian poet and Tokiponist, and the co-creator of nasin nanpa pona, alongside jan Tepo.

kiwen walo[edit | edit source]

jan Kapilu's most well-known Toki Pona poem is kiwen walo, originally titled lon ma tomo pi tenpo pini suli. It was written as a submission for the 2020 poetry competition of utala musi pi ma pona, where it won first place.[1]

The poem was later included as a creative work in Toki Pona Dictionary in 2021 (under the old title).[2] It was also included in the Esperanto edition of Toki Pona: The Language of Good in 2022 (under the new title) as a challenge for people who finished the book's lessons, with an annotated Esperanto translation of the poem by jan Pensa, jan Kaja and jan Sonja on the other side of the page.[3]
