madness – Scriptorium '77

everlasting

fragments found in the sink
echoed by the toothbrush
which sings in Morse:
.—- / .—- / —-. / .—-

Method In Madness

There is a crime scene
There is a stage
There is a mirror
There is a cage

Sit Tight and Laugh With the Moon

Sit tight
tight
tight
Be pride

Strawberry Dance

Expressing my feelings with a strawberry dance
In between shifts of knowledge and hope
Swinging my hooked knife like a samurai
Nude as I am on my wet balcony

others want to see me mad

if i never want to go mad
others possibly will be sad

Information Overkill

These days
I feel the need
Every day
More and more

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!
