Short Rorschach Poems

Pen hemorrhages
Rorschach ink blots reach in need
            Analyze anguish...

road kills left their souls on the bumpers of passing cars
their rorschach shapes haunting the eyes of the drivers
as their wheels keep turning chasing the next unwanted prey...

Chameleon clouds
Tempting mesmerizing view 
Pretty in pink shades

Kaleidoscope sky
Striking explosive colors
Majestic image 

Dreamlike remote clouds 
Uniquely asymmetric
Rorschach perceptions...

Out of Ink
 
Mr. Rorschach if you will
dry up; lend me your quill.
 
I’ll cast some inspiration
for your interpretation.
 
Dumbfounded pen
out of ink again.
 
If I could find a trickle,
my poem would fetch a nickel

I believe...
I see...
I think...
I feel...
Therefore I am. I am. I am.
Flesh & blood. Bone & hair.
My words aren't mixing, aren't rhyming, aren't anything.
Failed attempts to s-p-e-a-k.
Each letter is blotchy & black.
My mouth is filled with Rorschach tests.
Can you find the hidden meaning? Do you see a giraffe or brains blown against 
the wall?
"I thought I knew", she said with a faint smile.
"Oh honey you never knew..."...

I am the dawning man                        
The waking limb                                    
An unbowed willow                      

You are the dusken girl
The tangled sheet     
A dewed down meadow

We are sown seeds
Folded into the earth
Whose roots weave
And cannot be unpicked

We are green leaves
Laced with silk
In whose curl
Transformation sleeps

We are a chrysalis!

Love seen in a Rorschach!

A dog eared page of poetry
That is sealed with glue...

A fellow site member by the name of Lee
submitted a poem looking a little strange to me.
It was a delightful composition written for Debbie.
It appears the shape of a bell this work would take.
However, Lee told me it was a birthday cake.
Many “shape” poems have appeared on this site.
They have been submitted both day and night.
There are so many ideas those shapes can invite.
Many writers here have been creatively blessed.
Shape poems sometimes can be like a Rorschach Test.
