Rule This Place

Tear dropping
Face stopping
To move forward
To the hopes

right in the wrong

there can be something right
in something that seems wrong
if your thoughts only belong
to your mind

Losing My Respect

He wasn’t a hero of mine
But perhaps closest in line
To a politician with class
Without scandals en masse

New Axis of Evil

No day is like the day before
The toddler in the White House swore
To make a deal and start a war

Compensation

what you notice about the weak
they know where they can hurt others
and they will do

© Dominik Alexander / 2025

coming into life for trouble

just a little bit of excitement
is the reason to be alive
still searching for the other one
the peace after the hurricane

Where Is the Exit From Here?

closing the door
avoiding the world
from entering my thoughts
leaving work

Sonnet #80: Gaza

The silver lining always makes me wonder
If there is reason for another dream
While politicians use this phrase to ponder
What can I buy to grow my self-esteem

© Dominik Alexander / 2025

burn out

and again
an old white man
has declared himself competent enough
that his life is rough

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!
