The Ides of March. Reprise

There are leftovers on the wall
Words of wisdom right before the fall
The people don’t know that yet

The Longest Day

The Sun is just an image of herself today
The clouds form shadows out of boredom
Look at yourself from deep within
And you’ll see hurricans of fire

mind less power

the sirens call on Sunday
they use my phone
and make my father dial my number in the morning

Nothing Written On That Wall

Thinking of something is finally over
The clover a clever investment
To achieve something out of luck

There Cometh Me

And then out in the cold
There cometh me
And my shadow
Illuminating the dark walls

Lapislazuli Walls

Pictures one day appear
On a hidden wall
Behind blind eyes
They are drawn with camel hair

Seven Haiku: January 2021, part II

Being lazy sucks
Avoiding traffic in town
Exploring nature.

This Life Calls For Wars

We live a decent life: Nothing to fear
Nothing to regret / Nothing to gain

© Dominik Alexander / 2017

Do you dare to listen?

I heard someone say / Not too long ago
Why are there countries? / Why have we built walls?

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!
