Four Degrees Below Zero

there is an atmosphere of
four degrees below zero
the hemisphere grows dark
and the moon is my hero

Whatever We Take

there are nightshifts around the world
we would like to fight until the sunlight
appearing again for a new day

Sonnet #70: Crisis

Those times are crying for some kind of crisis
The climate changes and the days get worse
Imagine noon and food without some spices
Meanwhile this generation acts diverse

LOOKING

Looking is the only way I allow myself to drool about the pleasures of life
Looking along the crowded street wishing it was empty

Three Colours: Skyblue – Ocreyellow – Leafgreen

Street colours in Fall
The winner takes it all
Blue is the colour
Of calm and unity

Election Day After

The claim was done
Of course he had to
Way before the result is called
While the race is still on
Both of them can come through
To get installed;

Election Day

Waiting in line
Patiently
Another step closer
Every step at its time

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!
