C. Iulius Caesar – Scriptorium '77

ab itur

Ein falsch abgetrenntes Abitur in einem Gesetzestext inspiriert mich heute in meiner Funktion als Lektor zu einem Prosagedicht mit historisch-kritischem Kommentar.

You Came. You Saw. You Didn’t Conquer

It needs more than two legs
To walk
It needs more than two eyes
To see

The Ides of March. Reprise

There are leftovers on the wall
Words of wisdom right before the fall
The people don’t know that yet

Sonnet #76: Weltfriedensordnung

Verspür’ ich denn das Licht vom Weihnachtsstern
Am Firmament zu fortgeschritt’ner Stunde
Der Weltenfrieden ist mal wieder fern
An Ketten rasseln tollwutzahme Hunde

Seid still, ihr Iden

Es heißt, jeder sei der Mittelpunkt der Welt. Überall ist das Zentrum. Wir ziehen uns an und stoßen uns ab. Tagtäglich das immer gleiche Spiel mit den Anziehungskräften, den Abstoßungsrhythmen, mit denen wir uns durch die Musik des Lebens tanzen.

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!
