falls silent on me
I blush into the shadows

The Secrets of the Night (Untitled Poem)
the night
all her secrets
she has long revealed

What might the night have wanted to conceal or have concealed? Let’s have a look into this enchanting question, my friend.
The night, that velvet cloak draped over our world, holds secrets in its inky folds. Perhaps it shields the tender dreams of sleepers, wrapping them in a cocoon of starlight and shadow. Or maybe it’s guarding the wild dances of nocturnal creatures, their secret revels hidden from prying eyes.
Think of the whispered confessions uttered under its cover, words that daylight would shy away from. The night could be concealing stolen kisses, clandestine meetings, or moments of raw, unguarded emotion.
Just Us (Untitled Poem)
when it’s just us
we remain quiet—
the moon and me
I wrote this on December 24, 2023. The visualization was provided by DALL-E and Microsoft Designer via Bing.
Exploring the Symmetry of the Poem
The poem has a subtle yet elegant symmetry, created by the balance between the speaker, the moon, and the silence they share. The first two lines set up a mirrored structure: “when it’s just us” reflects intimacy, and “we remain quiet” mirrors the peacefulness of that moment. The final line brings both the speaker and the moon into equal standing, emphasizing their quiet connection. The dash before the last line creates a pause, highlighting the reflective symmetry between the quiet of the speaker and the quiet of the moon.
Moon Haiku
The moon on the path
it sleeps within a puddle
quietly alone
Conceived on 06.06.2024 and visualized in a surreal way by DALL-E via Bing and Microsoft Designer.
It only became a Haiku by chance, or rather, the words somehow came together on their own, and in the end, syllabically, it turned out to be a 5-7-5 Haiku. When words find their form naturally, it sounds effortless, less forced; after all, poets often hammer and hack away at their verses until they fit. In this sense, a Haiku is a Procrustean bed. Under such circumstances, I would not want to be a sentence. But here, everything came together effortlessly, a kind of literary underwater birth — in this case, in a puddle.

Autumn Poem
autumn storms
even the moon
sways like a lantern
Written on September 15, 2024, by Sven Lennartz. The autumn-fresh visualizations were painted by artificial intelligence, using DALL-E and Microsoft Designer via Bing.
Autumn sets things in motion. You feel it the moment you step outside in the morning… Autumn is here. The air is crisp, almost damp, carrying the scent of wet earth and falling leaves.
