The #ink I write with
is magic ink. It can
conjure up moments
of beauty, joy, solace
and calm. It can anchor
memories in time &
space & it can help
me understand.
This ink I write with
is magic ink.

The Auditor found Theseus misfiled under Agriculture. Our hero was slowly plowing labyrinths in concentric furrows, subsisting on red stringy corn. "Another fragment in the wrong section," she tutted. Theseus looked up, wide-eyed. "Má Día! No! I've finally found peace."

When something tickles
the #stickler, he hackles,
his fickle tongue sharp

#Numbers don't talk to me.
I try to get them
into a row, but they dance
all over the place.
Numbers don't listen to me,
no matter what I say -
they always add up to something
else than expected-

but letters
is a different story
alltogether

Ich habe leider keine Kinder.
Aber als Lehrer würde ich gerne das Lied um eine Strophe erweitern

Jeden Morgen hab‘ ich sie gesehen und habe ihnen so viel beigebracht. Wie oft haben wir gemeinsam geweint und öfter noch gelacht? Auch wenn sie die Schule dann verlassen ist ihr Lebensweg mir nicht egal – und würden sie in eurem Wahnsinn sterben verschenkten sie doch nur ihr Potential – Nein, meine Schüler geb‘ ich nicht!

Life is hard
for the little #crab.
It crawls & crawls out
of the sea, until
the flood comes
& draws it back in.

Today my tea bag broke.
So I made the best of it
and tried to divine
the new year from
the tea leaves.
All I could make out
were a crocodile,
a frog and a sailboat –
a special kind of #fairy tale.

I rarely post political content in my profile, but I can't stand by silently while seeing how fitness for war (not defence) is being propagated at every corner.

War. Is. No. Solution.

It doesn't matter who started it.
It matters who stops it.

I am a #myth maker,
inventing stories, sagas
and fables. Yesterday,
it was the Pegasus,
today it's the Mind Flayer.
Let's see what I'll

This poem
tastes of #nougat
& when you
read it aloud,
I hope it doesn't stick
to your gums, but
melts on your tongue,
leaving you craving for more.

In my office, just
opposite my desk,
hangs a poster of
a #lavender field.
Every time, work
becomes exhausting,
I dream myself into
that sunny picture.
One day, I hope to
wake up in that sunny
field, looking at a picture
of an empty office.

She came from Nigeria
& had #curly hair.
One day, she came
into the class room,
went straight up to me
& started touching my hair.
I asked her what the matter is
& she said: Everybody wants
to touch my hair & now
I am touching back.

Hier ist mein Gedicht "Fährtenleserinnen", enthalten in der Anthologie zum 11. Bubenreuther Literaturwettbewerb, inspiriert durch meine Schülerinnen, denen ich Schreiben (& Lesen) beibringe.

Engliish Translation in Alt

#writingcommunity #Gedicht #booksky
Ein rotes Buchcover mit schwarzen Buchstaben. Text: 11. Bubenreuther Literaturwettbewerb 2025 Fährtenleserinnen Ihr findet Frauen, die Lesen, gefährlich? Mädchen, die schreiben lernen, sind es noch mehr: - die sich durch den Blätterwald kämpfen, an dem einen oder anderen Buchenstab hängenbleiben, zwischen Baum und Borke immer wieder Neues entdecken, auch schon die eine oder andere Fährte lesen können, die weder Tod noch Fehlerteufel fürchten, nur mit Bleistift und Radiergummi bewaffnet und sich nicht scheuen, sie auch einzusetzen – denn sie lassen sich kein i für ein e vormachen. English: Tracker You think woman who read are dangerous? Girls who are learning to write are even more: who fight themselves through the book leaves, who sometimes get caught on a letter head, who always discover something new between the lines, who can already read a few tracks, who are not afraid of death or letter troll, only armed with an eraser & a penci and who are not afraid to use them because they will mind their p's and q's

It’s the typo demon.
Screenshot from Tumblr, including a medieval painting of a monk writing in a book and a winged demon looking on. From user 1: today I learned... that in the middle ages there was a popular belief in a demon of language, one who collected the words of people women gossiping in church, and the mumbled syllables of priests who weren't saying mass properly. He was also held responsible for scribal errors. Later he haunted printing presses, causing typesetters to make mistakes. Today I learned... there is a typo demon, it has a name, and it is Tutivillus (Titivillus). User 2: Can he leave me alone please User 1: l asked and he said ni. Hey Tedbaldus, you missed a letter: User 3: Now he has taken residence in Autocorrect, which is why it always turns your thoughts into word salad when you try to text.

To understand
the #language of
candlelight, you
have to lean in
real close and listen
to the flicker of the flame.
Angry words smell
like burnt horn.

#history
is a long black train,
appearing out of the fog
to briefly stop to let
people get on & off
& then disappear again.
Sightings are recorded
by trainspotters called
historians. We, the passengers,
have no choice, but to trust
the driver to bring us
to our final destination
safely

This morning,
I thought #long
about my poem.
I thought about hair,
roads, days, even
years & an untranslatable
pun by my little niece.
But everything I
thought about
fell short.
