Stranger to the Moon (Untitled Poem)

2024-09-30 by Sven Lennartz

the moon
he gazes into the night
but he doesn’t know her

The visualizations are generated by DALL-E & Microsoft Designer via Bing.

The poem is contemplative and introspective, with a sense of quiet mystery. It feels gentle yet distant, much like the moon itself. The way the moon is personified—gazing into the night but not truly knowing her—evokes a feeling of longing, curiosity, or perhaps quiet resignation. There’s no urgency or intensity; instead, there is a soft and subtle acknowledgment of this unbridgeable distance between the moon and the night.

Just Us (Untitled Poem)

Last stroke of the quill at 2024-09-27 by Sven Lennartz

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

Last stroke of the quill at 2024-09-26 by Sven Lennartz

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

2024-09-24 by Sven Lennartz

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.
