Advent, Advent, der Himmel brennt

Was soll ich sagen?
Soll ich’s wagen?
Zu konstatieren
Dass ich die Adventszeit nicht sehr mag?

Das Buch ist reich bebildert

Es hat ein schönes Cover, einen festen Einband, Fadenbindung, hochwertiges Papier, ein Lesebändchen. Doch dann kommt der Hammer, der Slogan, der meinen Enthusiasmus erschlägt und meinen Mittelfinger vom Kaufen-Button zurückschrecken lässt: “Das Buch ist reich bebildert” steht da.

Grüner Klee ist ein einsamer Rufer

Ein Schatten läuft von dir zu mir
Es ist halb vier am frühen Morgen
Wir borgen uns den Abend von daheim
Schlafen ein und singen Lieder

Sonnet #41: Gefallen

Er ist gefallen aus dem Strom der Zeit
Gefallen uns die ander’n Menschen nicht
Sind hohe Hürden keine Kleinigkeit
Dann fährt hier keine Seele mehr auf Sicht

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!
