A Hauntingly Short Halloween Poem

Last edited on October 26, 2024 by Lenny Lowenstern

when we are alone
we whisper
the ghost moon and I

Witches, pumpkins, shadows – this is Halloween. The air is filled with ghostly, eerie, even disturbing vibes. A mysterious atmosphere unfolds. 🌑✨👻🌫️

I couldn’t come up with anything particularly profound for Halloween, so I tried something different: I “halloweenized” one of my previously published poems. A few words changed, a bit of a disguise – and suddenly, something new emerged.

This fits perfectly with the grand monster party – eerie, but subtle. No rhymes, not for kids, but rather a quiet, flickering kind of horror that lingers in the shadows.

moonlight—
seeing everything
and yet utterly alone

Yes, I prefer minimalism, sometimes—more or less. Recently, more often again. Then I think, in a few lines or with just a handful of words, everything can be said. You don’t have to struggle to find the right words; you have to get rid of them, and that’s just as hard—at least. But sometimes, it’s not. There are things for which even a whole novel isn’t enough.

Raindrop Haiku

Last edited on October 21, 2024 by Lenny Lowenstern

a world of raindrops
a fleeting glimpse of myself
now it slips away

The haiku was created on August 30, 2023. It follows the classic 5-7-5 syllable pattern. The visualizations of the poem were made with DALL-E.

The inevitability of rain is one of the most common themes in haiku. Rain has always fascinated me as well, with its behavior that ranges from calm indifference to wild storm, from almost tender delicacy to overwhelming force.

Interpretation

This haiku is a profound and vivid poem that offers interesting aspects both formally and thematically.

Formally, the haiku follows the traditional Japanese structure: three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern. This concise form compels me, the poet, to be precise and clear.

A Brief Autumn Poem

the first frost
crunches underfoot—

The End of Summer

There’s this one moment, often on an ordinary day in autumn, when you realize that summer is truly gone. It’s no longer the time of farewell; the color has long since faded from the trees. The leaves have fallen, and the sky lies heavy over the landscape. No trace of warmth in the air, no late bloom left in the garden.

I Sense It (Poem)

Last edited on November 19, 2024 by Lenny Lowenstern

I sense it

just a moment ago
he looked over my shoulder
while I was writing
—the moon

Written on July 29, 2024, brought to life by DALL-E and Microsoft Designer.

Poetically speaking, moonlight casts a magical spell on our senses and emotions. Its gentle, silvery glow transforms the night into a mysterious landscape, stirring imagination and feelings. Yet, it neither affects our lives nor our health, nor can we physically feel it – it is simply too faint for that.

Although not physically measurable, moonlight can be metaphorically felt as a cool touch on the skin. It evokes sensations of calm, longing, or romance and creates an atmosphere of contemplation. As a symbol of change and cosmic cycles, it has always inspired artists and poets, who strive to capture its ethereal beauty in their works. What would we be without the moon?
