Protected: Und am Morgen einen im Tee

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

High Noon kurz vor Vier

Eine Minute vergeht
Ich lasse sie vergehen
Noch eine
Ich häufe Sekunden an

Nach dem Gewitter fliegen die Schwalben wieder

ein dumpfes Grollen rollt heran
baut sich auf
will ganz plötzlich
nicht mehr weg

© Dominik Alexander / 2024

Das Grauen kommt wolkig

Ich erdenke mir einen Anfang
Wo der Balkon zittert
Vom Grollen hinter den Bergen
Im jenseitigen Land

Torsten is unwell

Noch ist die Erinnerung frisch
An die Zeit
In der ich kaum atmen konnte
Der Fahrtwind brachte nur etwas Kühle

Sonnet #16: Glück

Im Schutz der roten alten Backsteinmauer
Sie leuchtet gelb im nahenden Gewitter
Sitzt hier ein greiser Schreiber auf der Lauer
Nach Dunkelheit zu öffnen dann die Gitter

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!
