Kommst du mit mir nach Datteln?

Ich weiß nicht mal, ob das wirklich ein Ort ist
Oder doch nur eine Frucht
Datteln können wir auf jeden Fall essen
Und wer etwas zu essen hat

Fort schrittlich

Das Vergnügen
Am Strand zu liegen
Im heißen Sand
Mit einer Hand im kühlen Wasser

© Dominik Alexander / 2024

Eine Dattel ist wie ein Toffifee

Wir unterbrechen die Arbeit
Nicht etwa fürs Fressen
Sondern um uns instand zu setzen

© Dominik Alexander / 2023

rosa schimmerndes gewölk

die vögel singen wieder
ihre lieder
am ententeich
schütteln ihr gefieder

Wutig und himmelsbunt

im grünen verblassen die menschenmassen
mein taubes gesicht rührt sich nicht
die stirne ganz heiß fragt er, wer weiß
über die zukunft bescheid sorgen und neid

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!
