Grant Me Your Smile

Daddy sits in front of you
He’s going through
What he can see
It’s on TV

Youth on the Phone

How do they meet each other
How do they know
The other’s personality
How do they show

Tomorrow Comes Quickly

My mind is still trapped
Focussed too much on this tiny space of home and work
It needs to switch to the undiscovered country
With joy

Sonnet #53: Selfless

They point and tell, they sell their souls to clouds
Their dictionary of life includes just phrases
What doesn’t make it to their cellphones shouts
Update your apps or else in micro spaces

mind less power

the sirens call on Sunday
they use my phone
and make my father dial my number in the morning

Wrong Direction

Wondering about the people in here
Wandering about the sky
At least the one in their mobile phones
Standing in the queue before

Watching People On Christmas Eve

Corona played its card today
Right from the start
All plans abandoned
On the day prior to Christmas Eve

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!
