Christmas – Scriptorium '77

Protected: Haiku 2025: Schweigen / Silence

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

sad is my new angry

follow me through the park
at night of course
when the stars are sinking
they fall through my mind

Sonnet #75: Bitter Sweet Merry

The sweetness of a porridge break at dawn
While time is shifting backwards in the train
My thoughts are on a christmas market lawn
Instead of merry joy it’s raining pain

Buying a Pure Soul for Christmas

In silence we reach the target of life
Let me in
Yelled the clown
Let me see my goal

on a day trip

christmas comes late tonight
I forgot how to dance
but the miracle does happen
anyway

And now for something completely the same

while I’m still wondering
what life is all about
there lies no single doubt
in the fact

Watching People On Christmas Eve

Corona played its card today
Right from the start
All plans abandoned
On the day prior to Christmas Eve

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!
