pride – Scriptorium '77

Kolumne 666: Stolz

Der türkische Fußballspieler Merih Demiral ist stokz darauf, Türke zu sein. Im Pride-Month sind Menschen stolz auf ihr Geschlecht und ihre sexuelle Orientierung. Doch ist das wirklich Stolz? Eine Einordnung.

Sonnet #67: Cat

She is the queen of distant past and future
Within her memory, she’s seen it all
She’s got a shiny, fluffy fur to die for
She’s always pride and therefore prone to fall

Rainboy

I’m that kind of a lad
Who’s unbelievably glad
To live a different life
Without husband or wife

Sonnet #40: Pride

The month of June appears for some in rain
Their tears are often swallowed by the rainbows
The pride is sometimes covered by the pain
For people and their dreams when only time flows

Cases Of Wonder

Sometimes I want to lit a cigarette
I want to ride on the first puffy cloud
To observe what’s going on down there
To inhale the little wonders

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!
