Ink Blots

Neville

Ink Blots

 

While out travelling

                  He wrote to her almost

            Every single day

                   Oh’ how

              The ink would flow

From his pen

                                          To her paper and

                                         Then along the

       Mid fold crease

             A row of bright blue

         Rorschach

Butterflies ached

     To be set free

                                        He was a poet

      She called him

         Love

They named

              What they made

Together

                                                   Art

                   While all along

                     The perforated

            Mid fold crease

                                              A row of near

            Perfect bright blue

   Rorschach

                 Butterflies ached

               To be set free

             Upon the world

           Yet he saw there

                                            Nothing but several almost

    Insignificant ink blots

    Ahh Rorschach. Did ya know the guy?! I started a letter 'Dear.......' then me pen ran out. The shop was shut to buy a new one. Doh!

    • Neville

      No.. I never knew him.. I did know Anna Freud quite well tho, but that is going back to the 80's...

        You know all these folk that Michael and I know? - Sylla Berles (syllables); Don Key (donkey); Sam Pull (sample) and others?! heehee. Ahh, Bill Stickers/Bill Posters too - why they always prosecute him? What's he done?

      • Neville

        I have been around for a while ... I once knew Anne Tique... she was French I believe.. and the there was Dinah Soar.. dunno what happened to her..

        Ah the good old clinical tests - we do ink blot art at some of our workshops - great fun. Actually this is seriously good Neville and I do like the construction.

        • Neville

          thank you Michael.. sadly the site declined to allow my original formatting and came up with its own modified version ... Neville

          • Michael Edwards

            Well it seems to work somehow - might try using something similar myself.

            Good style and flow to this intriguing piece Neville - Ink blobs on paper will hold more mystery to me after this read of imaginative metaphor.

                Some people place before us that which we cannot see.
                Oft described as one of the enigmatic differences between the genders.

                • Neville

                  thank you... interpretation is the key.. an appreciated visit & true... N

                  Wonderful imagery within this piece. Those ink blots are not insignificant to those who can get joy from them.

                    I am sad that he cannot recognize the achingly beautiful butterflies trapped in the folds........ thank goodness your poem is out for all of us to see lovely Neville.

                      A lovely poem .. )) nice choice of words

                      ‘ They named
                      What they made
                      Together
                      Art’

                      Lovely way with words
