Balkon – Scriptorium '77

Windsammler

Am Abend sammle ich noch etwas Wind / Weil meine Augen müde sind / Vom schniefenden Verweilen / Will doch viel lieber durch die Landschaft eilen

Kolumne 666: Brutsaison

Das kleine Rotschwänzchen kennt vom Leben bisher nur meinen Balkon. Wie es dazu kam, berichte ich in der neuen Kolumne 666 – zusammen mit Tipps für künftige Vogeleltern.

Schwalbenkinder

Draußen ist es schwül
Noch lange nicht kühl
Doch ich wage mich nach draußen
Balkon in der vierten Etage

Nach dem großen Wasser roch es so schön nach Regen

Macht die Leinen los
Springt übern Kiel
Schmiedet das Eisen
Solange es feucht ist

Cry Baby

Wuääähhh!!!

Ein Kind brüllt, als wollte es alles Unheil der Welt seit Äonen und Generationen in sein Schreien legen.

Es regnet nicht, und ich vergesse meinen Tee

Immer nur sehen wir das Dunkel nahen. Das Helle überfällt. Ist immer schon da, bevor wir den Alpträumen entsteigen. Im Sommer. Nicht, wenn wir jung sind. Da ist es umgekehrt.

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!
