In der Nacht scheint alles viel klarer

Wo ist nur das Leuchten
Wenn ich es brauche
Ist es nie da
Tagsüber ist es zu hell

Bis das Schweigen wieder zählt

Straßen sind laut in diesen Tagen
Abgase verstopfen die Rettungsgasse
Fahrräder landen in den Gräben der Niedertracht

Ziemlich zynisch

Eine Tramfahrt von knapp zehn Minuten genügte, um mir direkt den Tag zu vermiesen. So dachte ich, als ich ausstieg und ins Büro schlitterte. Denn selbstverständlich waren die Straßen blank geputzt, während auf dem Gehweg das blanke Eis lag.

Die Elbe steigt

Im Sommer stand der Elbepegel nur minimal über dem Rekordtief. Für Tage hatte sich der Flusslauf bei etwa fünfzig Zentimetern eingepegelt. Beinahe hätte man über den Fluss laufen können.

in absentia

Die Trommeln klingen
Es singt die Schalmei
Ich möchte nach draußen
Denn was wär’ schon dabei

Sonnet #34: Weihnachtszeit

Das Licht am Rad zerteilt die Dunkelheit
Entwirft groteske Schatten auf dem Weg
Wir fliegen langsam durch die Einsamkeit
Und halten erst, wenn es nicht weitergeht

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!
