intelligence – Scriptorium '77

where we fail

it’s the deal of the day
what we fail in wipe away
it’s a miracle we need
even though curiosity we bleed

Manipulate Me

Manipulate me
Into thinking
That it’s beautiful outside
That high temperatures are something good

stupidity makes the headaches grow

darkness swept over the sea
there is nothing more important than history
don’t blame the ones who don’t know
teach them, make them grow

Deartification

we poets put our minds on the line
we artists express our feelings and show ourselves
bare to the world around us
to look at us

Human Superpower

Here we go for the sunshine
Privately settling just fine
Make a shift and start
Your engine be a part

Limits Of Life

Back again
Where it all began
Thoughts about sense
Relating suspense

Fear Society

Standing firmly on the ground
Looking around
Seeing no-one

I Like

I like thunder / I like rain
I like wisdom / That I can gain.

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!
