Fragments of Fractals

Fractals. Spawn of iterating quadratic functions. Choreographers of cosmic conjunctions. Impervious to human dysfunctions. Makers of multiverses. Encoders of creations. Limited only by imaginations. Recursive. Coercive. Immensely immersive. Purveyors of poetic creative cursive. With formative fractals you’ll melt your mind’s shackles and be anywhere that you may want to be. You can form fractals to your own reality, and make anything in the sky or the sea. You can even repurpose them to poetry … Yes, if fractals were dactyls they’d flow off the page, whirling and twirling, sublime. Freeing us, being us, thoughts disengage, teasing and pleasing with rhyme, reaping the rhythms of time. From mundane equations that yet yield complex repetitive patterns that please and perplex, come fractals so beautiful in all respects. Constructors of coastlines and snowflake concerns, foundries for forests, and feathers, and ferns, the deeper you dive they have more twists and turns. Generators of patterns, like veins in a leaf, and the branches of trees, shapes of every motif. Look around, everywhere, there are fractals, good grief! From the large to the small and still smaller they flow, simple patterns repeating, yet different, you'll know that there’s just no escaping the great fractal show. So, let’s face them, embrace them, we’ll host history. Let us master them, plaster them, I guarantee: merge your mind into fractals, you’ll set your soul free.
