  • Super haiku Bros. IV

    small dark ball
    blinking red, living only
    to explode

    — Bob-omb

    shot from a cannon
    flying slowly, and yet
    staying aloft

    — Bullet Bill

  • Super haiku Bros. III

    fluffy white ether
    shyly hiding if you look
    approaches from behind

    — Boo

    nothing but bones
    crumbling at the slightest touch
    reassembling every time

    — Dry Bones

  • Super haiku Bros. II

    flying turtle
    hovering up and down
    serving as bridge

    — Koopa Paratroopa

    big brother
    constantly throwing hammers
    defeated by small earthquake

    — Hammer Bro

  • Super haiku Bros. I

    giant chestnut
    walking steadily to the left
    falling off blocks

    — Goomba

    vigilant tortoise
    protected by its shell
    Yoshi's food

    — Koopa Troopa

  • Welcoming a rhyming snail!

    As of this week a rhyming snail is joining me on my creative journey. We’ve known each other for quite a while and value each others imaginative ideas and inspirational thoughts. Multiple times casual conversations led to creative works. On some of these we worked together, on others either of us alone.

    So it was only a matter of time before a rhyming snail asked me if they might contribute to the blog on an irregular basis. To kick things off they’ve brought quite a delight with them for this week. 🥳

    Failure

    • While the workload from my study course is increasing, I’m starting to struggle keeping up the daily blog posts.

    Take Away/Doing Next

    • Exploring potential options and making necessary adjustments in my publishing routine.

  • summer’s end

    summer came
    summer went
    all that remains
    are warm memories
    of sunny days

  • lost definition

    long lost
    … a loss prolonged beyond it’s initial schedule

    short lost
    … a loss abridged to save time

    recently lost
    … a loss that freshly happened

    found lost
    … a loss that was now discovered

    just lost
    … a loss well deserved

    not lost
    … a loss that never happened

    prematurely lost
    … a loss that occurred before it’s time

    unlost
    … a loss undone

  • green gem spin drawing

    This week I went to an exhibition featuring Damien Hirst’s drawings and drafts on some of his works. Part of the exhibition was one go at his drawing machine and thus experiment with colours, chance and control.

    A sheet of paper is fixed onto a wooden disc which is then going to spin around while colours with different pens are added, thus creating perfect circles in varying shades. With liquid colours circles with a corona like look or splattered drops can be achieved.

    a spin drawing created with felt-tipped pens in two different shades of green and sienna coloured acrylic paint

    I chose felt-tipped pens in two different shades of green and sienna coloured acrylic paint. The outcome reminds me of green gems.

  • diamond skull

    defying death
    with riches
    born from dust
    matured over aeons
    wrested from their earthly homes
    to be cut
    and polished
    until they shine
    as bright as the stars
