Rorschach Inkblot Test


















Wolves in profile, heads tilted back
Howling either side
Of a Shaman.

Butterflies 
Blur into the shape
Of the vulva.

Two African women
Leaning over a cooking pot
Sharing stories.

The next is a monster;
But it is important to note
He is affable.

A bat.

A cat that has been squashed
Flat and pasted into
A collector’s book.

Two creatures, half woman
Half rabbit, thin and cruel
Poised to bolt.

Mirrored bears dancing
In a pine forest;
They are joyful.

A unicorn and a satyr fighting
On a bank of clouds
With trumpets.

A pair of wizards surrounded
By the magic and claws
Of their familiars.

  1. Very nice. It'd be great for my folding mirror poetry site, especially with a little editing to fit the form's requirement of two mirroring halves of poetry either side of a middle line, if you'd like it featured there as well.
