imagination – Scriptorium '77

Sonnet #98: Quantum Leap

When raindrops fall with Autumn leaves to ground
He likes to stand behind the window curtain
And watch the future to the distant sound
Of his imagination left uncertain

Killing Grundstraße

early morning
dark sunglasses
warm breeze
still traffic

Uncomfortably Numb

The evening comes and the party goes on
The nightmare forgotten, your mind still strong
You feel the rythm, the heartbeat, the waves

Do As the Stars Say

Sometimes I ask the stars
What do you see?
Are you able to recognise
The essence of the universe

Magical Imagination

Imagine the tree being just a seedling
Look around:
What do you see?

Frolicking With Intent

Frolicking about glimpses of imagination
Passing by the very spot my mind went shut
Seeing tiny unicorns with rainbow tail and golden glitter

The Cherry Tree

There hangs a memory about fifth of January
Above the cherry tree of my imagination

Hidden Pictures

Shadows
In a way
Reveal a picture
How it should be seen

Letter By Letter, Word By Word

words flying by
surrounding my head
then my mind
not separated

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!
