Does This Ink Blot Make My Ass Look Big?
Body Dysmorphia
Jet black darkness
Reflecting back no colors
Is the temperament
Pareidolia seeks
.
Curves and jerky continuity
Belie the lies of fluidity
Fencing in the beckoning darkness
When the vacuum peaks
.
Murky and menacing
Inviting but cold
Resisting but bewitching
What Rorschach mirrors wreak!
.
How I present my ink
To others, unsightly
Ugliness inside and out
From a blotter of shrieks

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Oooo, I learnt two new words, pareidolia and belie! This was such a fantastic poem!
I love this, and i love it even more because I had to google Pareidolia!
Arse or sideways boobies. I would love to take a Rorschach test. See if I am barmy. So poetical is this poem. What D.J. Says also.
Artfully executed--I especially liked the deliberate double negative, "Belie the lies of fluidity."
Great poem! Well written!
