poem


the construction crane 

on a different place now

just a few meters away 

from its old position

what else has changed 

in this depressed country

where one feels

a leaden heaviness

people look on their feet

and while they do this

the clouds are in motion

(AW, Oct 2026)

poem


underestimated

the value of bees

stupidity taken

to an extreme

people will sigh

about the loss

of sweet apples 

the sighs

will be loud

in the dystopian 

future

(AW, Oct 2026)

poem

time to take
the frozen
plum crumble
out of the freezer
some cinnamon
added later
will make it better
it's Sunday
people argue online
as they always did
but more
aggressive

(AW, Oct 2026)

the Belgian beer

poem


many thanks

for the soil 

and the tree

the blossoms

this special bee

it was

such a busy one

we do appreciate

the apples 

in the cake

poem


in this old film 

women walk fast

and wear big hats

some with feathers

it was a windless 

day then

at least for hats 

a safe one

haiku


trimming the nails

the autumn light

just right

poem


for today's crisis

only solutions from 

a bygone era

well should we protest

would curses work

or should we prefer

to drink filter coffee

and to watch this jay

in the tall cedar

its blue high now 

(AW, Sept 2026)

the summer sun

poem


in autumn

lumberjack shirts

and men sit down

as if they were

truly 

lumberjacks

outfit routine

needs a thought

in early autumn

poem


a blue sky

on an autumn day

the jay's blue

and written lines

in blue

how could it

be different

this autumn is

poem


on a mild day

in September

this cold tea

a blend of

green tea

with pear

and jasmine

the farewell to 

a summer

who has been

a scoundrel

in some way

(AW, Sept 2026)

poem


a wet day

some complain

about wetness

no complains

about the dust

on the cupboard

next to them

they're able

to ignore it

and now let's talk

(AW, Sept 2026)

shrill voices remain shrill

one might think

done by an artist
