Hölle – Scriptorium '77

Die Heimkehr

Die Schafgarbe röchelt
Der Wind brandet auf
Die Blätter fliegen
Von mir fort

Sonnet #62: Himmelwärts

Die Wolken sind zerrissen über allem
Was hier und da die Toleranz zersetzt
Bei Licht betrachtet sammeln sie in schnellem
Hinübergleiten alles, was sie hetzt

Monophobia

Es wäre nur ein Schritt für einen Menschen. Kein Schritt für die Menschheit. Denn die sieht ihn gar nicht. Ein Mensch steht allein am Abgrund und traut sich nicht. Er zaudert, hadert.

Hexenjagd – die Schatten von Salem

Schatten im Stillstand / Flirrendes Morgengrau am Firmament
Ein Baum fällt / Und dann:

Er sagte

Er sagte: / Die Arbeit liegt auf der Straße
Und er lachte / Weil es ein Witz war.

Wir lauern am Vorhof zur Hölle

Wir lauern am Vorhof zur Hölle
Und grübeln noch kurz auf die Schnelle
Wohin hat uns das Mißtrauen gebracht?

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!
