travel – Scriptorium '77

Sonnet #78: Fog

Through dirty glass the Moon is shining bright
The fields look icy white and lying pale
And suddenly the land’s without a sight
This foggy morning tells a frightening tale

Sonnet #75: Bitter Sweet Merry

The sweetness of a porridge break at dawn
While time is shifting backwards in the train
My thoughts are on a christmas market lawn
Instead of merry joy it’s raining pain

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

Leave Me Now and Come Back Later

Don’t we live in a universe
Where worlds collide
Everyday?

The Struggle

Let the fight begin
I told Charon
Took his finger
Showed him the rest of the night sky

Mind Travels

Travelling back into the so-called good-old-times
Writing postcards
Smiling about felt nostalgia
Pre-Corona, you know

White Horses Deity

I’m surfing on the edge of time / Holy waters making way
Leavin circles on the beach / Forming white absurdities.

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!
