No, I suppose, one can never fail a Rorschach test, only makes one wonder what was seen. I suggest looking at, but not reading, Kurt Vonnegut Jr's "Breakfast of Champions". He made many illustrations for that book. Now I feel kind of embarrassed Maureen. blushing

Wonderfully to the point. Always using the least but best words. Sorry to say, in the shape I saw something that was upside down. I failed Rorschach 101. Very nice Maureen.

Thank you so much Sandra! I could not comfortably enter it in the contest, I don't believe it is what the sponsor is looking for, so I'm leaving the spot for another poet ;) Hugs! xomo
