haiku
New Year's Eve
parts of the world already
in the dreamland
(AW, Dec 2025)
frying vegan schnitzel
loving the scent
poem
last day of the year
for some hours
some are philosophers today
we may participate online
it's quite interesting
because they share a wisdom
which has deep roots
in the so called everyday life
and this means a holy thing
a house not far away
its demolition is in progress
wood is piled up
stones next to it
some parts of the roof are left
and now birds are flying over it
as they did in the past
end December
these busy people around
like the blue tits do
winter sunshine
a blackbird seems to have
a hidden plan
a dazzling
dazzling
winter sun
on this frosty day
the slightly sweet flavour
of a dark beer
- o - o - o - * - o - o -
Christmas
the good china
is washed by hand
and so the glasses
with your wet finger
along the rim
you can make music
angelic
in some kind
today
frosty morning no hurry
to bring the coffee grounds
to the garden
* o * o * o *
this will happen today
choirs of angels:
peace is a big thing
- o - o - * - o -
- o - o - o - o - o - * - o - o -
from far
echoes
the r in truth
was never for
rumour
there will be buds
and liveliness is
a true promise
- o - o - o - o - * - o - o - o -
Christmas songs
coffee and croissants
with sweet jam
winter solstice
one can't escape
its allure

pure beeswax
in this time of
hidden miracles
no flowers
the Christmas cactus
is on strike
Ein bisschen golden wird es auch.
A bit golden.

people in a rush
Mid-December
three candles photos
look at them longer
to feel the warmth
being an adult
hoping for intangible
Christmas gifts
kind of bizarre
no real winter
lip injections a fashion
mid-December
not in a festive mood
the scandals pile up
in the midst of
the global warming
this world became colder
much colder than it had been
for a long time
people shiver and voices tremble
their hesitation
to think about
a so-called future
the canal the bridge the man
with the red cap
haibun
Red Dots
From a distance the rose hips look like red dots.
The only cheerful colour around.
this pinch of cinnamon
into the cherry dessert
makes it better
winter window view
one might think
this world is a peaceful one
grey winter clouds
the postwoman's
scanner doesn't work
(AW. Dec 2025)
In the pharmacy.
Do you want
a calendar?
How many more scandals
can be packed into
a single winter day?
wintry day
some smile briefly
some just nod
winter dinner
oops a cup of
milk fell over
