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.

seeing everything
and yet utterly alone
Written on January 1, 2024. Visualized by AI, specifically by DALL-E & Microsoft Designer.
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.
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.
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.

crunches underfoot—

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.
