Since 1983 Anneke writes poetry again, but also articles and reviews in Dutch, English and Esperanto. The poems usually don't rhyme , they are concerned with both the world around her and that within her. She publishes three chapbooks: Groei in millimeters (growth in Millimetres) (1984) Breuklijnen (Lines of fracture) (1985) and Droomwereld(Dreamworld) (1993). Her poetry collection in Esperanto, Reve kaj reale(Dreamed and real) appears with Impeto in Moscow (2006).
Anneke publishes poems and reviews in literary magazines in The Netherlands, the USA, Brazil, Scotland, Taiwan and Japan. Translations were made into Chinese and Japanese.
