Sachsen. Ein Schauermärchen – Caput XX

Caput XX

Das Wochenende schickt Schatten voraus
Die Arbeiten sind im Gange
Das Neustadt Art Festival lädt ein
Ich zögere nicht lange.

Ich möchte mich beteiligen
Und eintauchen in Klänge
Die oft nur in der Neustadt sind
In der übrigen Stadt ist nur Gedränge.

Das Bunte holt mich ein und ab
Heute gibt’s zum Verteilen
Programmheft, Sticker und Plakate
Gespräche zum Verweilen.

Mein Weg zurück kreuzt das Theater
Hier frag’ ich nach ‘ner Karte
Für die Alten Meister in der Galerie
Ich hoffe, und ich warte.

Denn die Vorstellung ist bereits ausverkauft
Schon seit vielen Wochen
Dennoch hab’ ich heute Glück
Und bin gar nicht gekrochen.

Hab’ eine Karte noch bekommen
Zur ersten Vorstellung seit Corona
Fühl’ mich dabei fast wie Vitellius
Auf dem Schlachtfeld bei Cremona.

Dann geht’s zur Robotron-Kantine
Doch Einlass begehre ich nicht
Ich fei’re meinen kleinen Erfolg
Mit glücklichem Gesicht.

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!
