Day 2923, towards.

I have to concentrate
not on all that is coming towards
but on the surface 
that wants to dissappear

Day 2871, forty.

Daily picture, Poetry

Today the snow fell

one by one on top of each other 

line by line next to each other 



forty centimeters tall at the end

so beautiful stacked on top of my car


when I looked at it

with a shovel in hand

Day 2492, the snow was.

Daily picture, Poetry

The snow was falling
in front of a dark background 
the contrast pronounced 

the snow was melting on my skin 
now looking up
I enjoyed it even more
like you do
in those few
first seconds

the snow came down alone
but together they fell
landing on a dark soil 
were only the first

Lonely tree, besides an empty crossing.

Another year is almost over, and the funny thing is, you don’t have to do anything for it; it’s a straight line no matter what happened on the sides of that road.

Day 2105, from my window 3.

I drive past the tree if I go to work, I drive past the red shed if I want to go to the city.

I wonder what the cows think of christmas….en the snow.

Day 2103, from my window 2.

Day's pictures

From our living room, we have a nice view over the valley to the sea; the sea is just behind the horizon. This is the most prominent tree, and today we had a light blizzard, and it did what I usually would do in my photo editing program…if I am lucky.

Day 1777, change.

Daily picture, Poetry

Today I started looking for one of my old poems when I realized that I came close to the date where I stopped writing poems. Remembering them to well I decided that it was enough. I started looking back at my old poems on Day 1699, I did it to give myself a brake and to practice my writing. I am contemplating now if I will start writing my poems again that are inspired by the picture I post for that day, or shall I take one of my books from the shelf and write about that. I have read a lot in the past, these day’s I listen to books and hardly ever take the time to read.

I have written about a book of Nietzsche on this blog, it is called “reading Human all too human”, everyday I read one aphorism of that book and gave my interpretation of it. It did it quite thoroughly, reading the text in English, German and Dutch and the English books also in three different translations. It was a lot of fun to do but after a while I stopped with it.

Reading a short aphorism was relatively easy, now I would like to read a book and make a summery of that what I have written the day before. This way I can combine the fun I have with writing on this blog and really read, or study a book I have read before but never serious.

I will think of a book tomorrow (and a poem today).
