Streit – Scriptorium '77

politik der apfelkerne

redet euch nur um kopf und kragen
und die rechten wieder stark
müsst am ende nichts mehr wagen
liegt dann schon im sarg

An eines Tages Abend

Wenn doch das Licht scheint
Dann wird alles gut
Ein Stern muss dir leuchten
Bekomm doch keine Wut

Auf der Suche nach der Stille des Alltags

Die kühle Luft des Morgens hängt noch in den Zweigen
Geigenklänge dringen an meine Ohren
Geboren bin ich, um dem Wind zu trotzen

Sonnet #49: Scirocco

Ein heißer Wind aus Süden zieht herauf
Er streift das Land und wirbelt alten Staub
Aus längst vergang’ner Zeit im Schlussverkauf
Verdrängt dabei das herbstlich bunte Laub

Der Hamster im Klärschlamm

Meine Finger riechen noch immer nach den Zwiebelschalen
Vom gestrigen Mittagessen
Eine Zwiebel häuten
Eine Zwiebel schälen

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!
