economy – Scriptorium '77

On a Day Like This

The Sun wakes up and takes a flight
She’s sending us the daily light
The daily news create my morning
Most baffle me and make me yawning

Sonnet #55: Regrets

What we regret remains unsaid until
We care too much about the circumstances
The reason for our failure pass but still
We fake a smile when heavens open chances

Sonnet #53: Selfless

They point and tell, they sell their souls to clouds
Their dictionary of life includes just phrases
What doesn’t make it to their cellphones shouts
Update your apps or else in micro spaces

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

Planet Earth Is Not Our Playground

There is this place I call home
I won’t discuss this too much
This place I call Earth

DE-Greasing

Haven’t finished my thought
Yet still feeling caught
Unfinished like I am
This is close to a scam

Spend Money For Charity

Capitalism laughs into our empty wallets
But when we’re not crying back
Economy gets frightened

Growth / Wachstum

Aphorism/us —
Growth / Wachstum

Addicted

When I beat my wife
Because I hate my life
When I enjoy the assault
Then it’s not my fault

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!
