Ich bin mal so frei und werfe mal einen Text von mir ins Forum, nur der Neugierde halber... Das Teil ist schon etwas älter und war ein Assignment in einem Creative Poetry Writing Seminar, und das Thema war "Elements".


Elements of Thought
© 1998/05/13 by Stayka deyAvemta

Isn't it strange -
That now we have over one hundred elements
When nature supplied us
With an ample amount of 92;
26 of them firstborn in stars
The others experienced a more violent birth.

Still there were times
When four were sufficient.
(Although that's not quite right:
True seekers set out
To find the mysterious quintessence.
They all failed.)

There were even times
When duality sufficed.
One particle here -
The other beyond the deep well;
This leaves us with one from none.

Watch the void become fire
Scattered by the ice-winds of time,
Turning into earth
and more:
Into water my tears.

For it is said that every division
Adds to the loss of substance
So every added element is in fact less.
And I heard
They created another one
Only a short while ago.
