As a result of vicious rumors
Circulating about the work place

They claim it was attendance
I know better, so do you 
Now, a once promising and...

There once was a man named SEAL
Whose posts made Orchid just squeal
He’d tease and cajole

as if to click some inspiration into my searching, wandering brain

some days I grow frustrated...

The art of creating a visual response to a piece of writing is known as  a reverse ekphrasis ie the inverse of the centuries old poetic form of ekphrasis.
The most well known example being Charles Demuth 'Figure 5' based upon a W C Williams Poem.

EMAGI is a recent variation of a reverse ekphrasis derived by the advent of the widespread use of hand held digital communication devices  -where words in digital  symbols /letters can be represented as a shape
and uses a poet's poem to inspire the digitised 'drawing'

I think of love so tender.
When I need the tender, 
She's a big spender
She never stops to pamper,
All round the calendar.

With a traitor 
On my breeches,
She turns into  tailor
And makes...
