full moon—
and the stars tonight
are not alone
Written on January 17, 2024. Visualized by DALL-E and Microsoft Designer. I detect a hint of science fiction, which I don’t mind.
How would the words taste or smell? What textures or temperatures might they have?
The stillness of the night, interrupted only by the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind? It’s a whisper, telling stories and touching the soul. Yes, the night has a special kind of magic that has always made the hearts of poets and dreamers beat faster. Mine included.
But what makes the night so much more poetic than the day? Let me reveal why the darkest hours ignite the brightest sparks of inspiration.
winter evening—
moon in the window
outside only cold

#C2D4DD. Light Slate Gray – This color is a soft, muted gray-blue that evokes the cold stillness of a winter evening. It mirrors the pale light of the moon reflected through a frosted window, blending coolness with a slight hint of warmth, like the faintest dusk before full nightfall. It feels cold and distant, yet not harsh—just like the feeling the poem conveys.
0°C – The temperature at the freezing point, where the cold is palpable but not yet biting. It perfectly fits the atmosphere of the poem, capturing the sense of stillness and the quiet, lingering cold of a winter night.

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.
