A Poetic Rorschach


Verily, it is! A playground
for the subconscious,
that held us interweaving
its mysteries, believing--

But Brain, vain and pompous
in own stomping ground:
"You try too hard."
. . . . . . . . . . Joyous,
a Being much too wondrous
and far beyond deceiving
now holds us all spellbound
by comprehensive rebound:
dropping signs of her leaving
sight of one so precious!

So, know what My Muse says?
No, but we saw her ways!

Author notes
Decades in the writing, but not a prewrite, it is a result of controversy about the legitimacy of personal muses. Mostly trochaic. The immediate precursor of this was inspired by "April's Aporia" by Razi Yusuf.

It was a much longer poem. Did this major edit help?
