wouldn’t it be great in a way
to have a doomsday clock
after that shock

The Mighty Might Not Fall: A Prelude to Our Collective Swan Song

The mighty will fall. What a comforting thought. But what if the mighty won’t fall? Because of the companies, the autocrats and the algorithms of today’s society? Let’s find out.

and still we hope

while the idiots run our planet
our morals flushed down the
toilets of our kingdoms
while the floods appear

The Flatland Files Of Visibility

the world outside is full of wonder
and little episodes that come and go
all of a sudden
and they went by so fast

Let me guess for a while
Don’t already open a trial
When I make up my mind
I promise, I will find

Running Against the Time On Earth

When we buy the best fitting jogging shoes
When we run against the time
We don’t do it for ourselves

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!
