the line angles abruptly
at the paper’s swift edge
up at a furious constancy
rhomboid in its fantasy
always traveling
while our voices whisper
through paralleled lines
past congruent lives
tracing conversations
arcing over unsaid thoughts

For the prompt “doodles”
Reflection Mandala by Teri
Dear Pam–
this made me ponder the parallel and congruent lives…and what is the mandala that each life may doodle within.
Thanks for this–
I like the way this seemed to give the doodle a mind or life of it’s own. Goes with the whole notion of the subconscious that Jim referred to. Hmmm.
Fascinating thoughts…
I like how this prompt has brought out so much more than paper doodles. Your art is lovely, and your poem is just right on.
Ah, the hidden properties of doodling. So creative.
This poem makes me think about connection and disconnection and passion in relationships. How those lines move!
Your art is beautiful. The ideas and flow of connections is so mind-expanding. The last verses really made me think. Thanks for this.
..”about connection and disconnection and passion in relationships”_a joy to read ur beautiful poem_
(so much in sync with teri’s lovely mandala)..many thanks..
That last stanza was amazing. Excellent!
