was hoping to pull off something roughly in the same ball park.

Great idea, Yoni. Ink blots scare me to death. At my age, I see the damndest things, all probably demented. Congrats on this selection. Love, daver

Hi Yoni, my mind seems to be blank. The only possible image I can even slightly come up with is, maybe the bottom of a type of a vehicle, like a buggy or something of that nature. And even that takes a lot of imagination. Sincerely Moses

I found so many images in this that I probably failed the test, Yoni. For some reason, I keep seeing a dragonfly and a pyramid. Really don't know what this means. Never took a rorschach test. The Christmas Cactus is the name of a specific flower. It is a cactus that has beautiful blooms that suddenly appear around Christmas. Very popular indoor plant. Love, Carolyn

Brilliant Yoni. I found the whole hoo-hah hilarious but this is one hell of a response. The narrative (which is skillfully done) reminds me of Zukofsky, but the work as a whole is definately you and shows a great talent as well as a dedicated poet.

anyway you want to see them the blothches in this picture represent you, they can only symbolize thoughts that were already in your mind, all you can do is try to amke sense of them and piece this broken puzzle back together hardly an easy task--i did i just did the puzzle and its excellent,so creative Yoni and always with a message every broken puzzle in life can be fixed,like any problem-to my favs--amazing-charma
