Cases Of Wonder

Posted by Dominik Alexander on 08/02/2022

Sometimes I want to lit a cigarette
I want to ride on the first puffy cloud
To observe what’s going on down there
To inhale the little wonders —

Riding on my tiny puffy cloud I see
Tiny little people arguing with each other
Or don’t talking with each other at all
Just wondering about life —

At night my cloud appears like a mirror
It absorbs the bright light of the Sun
Like the Moon it reflects the mannerisms
The dark side of the tiny people —

At dawn my puffy cloud turns red
Full of shame of what it saw for the last hours
All those cases of wonder and horror
Sometimes laughter and pride —

Smoking my cigarette till Sun salutes me
Birds landing on my puffy cold hand
Butterflies surround my blown-up mind
It’s time for me to sleep.

WRITING Creative writing is my personal way to deal with the world we live in. I try to figure what’s going on and how to make sense of it. Creative writing is also giving something from me to you to enjoy, to think about or just share some time together online.

POEMS On this page I started with poems because it’s an easy way for me to write something off my chest. Poems are about one tiny aspect in life, about a special feeling or a combination of both. Poems have the power to connect people in a special way. You can think about a poem for far longer than it lasted reading it. You can sing poems; you can think about poems; you can recite them out loud. Tell me what you think about my poetry. Or suggest a collaboration.

ART I already told you that I started with poems in here. But that’s just the beginning. I also write sonnets, short shories, novels, odes, haikus and more. I design my own books, do letterpress from time to time and like to make more collages. Some of it I put on here. Some of it I’m still working on. Most of it is still in my mind.

COLLABORATION I’d like to work together with other creative people. Do you like one of my poems and would like to make a song from it? Contact me! Do you have an idea but not the right words? Contact me! Do you like one subject I have written about and want to learn more? Contact me! Are you a writer but stuck in procrastination? Contact me!

FUN Sometimes I write about dark subjects. Sometimes I write about light subjects. Most of times I write because of the fun of writing. Because it’s healthy to do. Writing clears the mind. And, yeah, writing is fun. Do you like to learn more? Contact me!
