Shape of Means




drawn lines close
on golden mean echoes
as a mobius strip
grows from more to less

split and split again
where once were scores
the longest years now
number on a single hand

phi flings fractals
into a void,
forewarned, he walks
into the gathering black





Surreal is the prompt by Totally Optional Prompts

in my book surreal is your home turf... this follows suit beautifully... and i am glad to say i only had to look up one word this time... mobius....

Yes, this is surreal indeed, wonderfully done.

hey Tumble, I don't really get it, but I like it. There's something going on there, just out of reach to me, that makes it really intriguing.

Okay, I've read this three times, now, and am still trying to cipher it! I'd have to say it's a success at surrealism! I'm so literal that your last two lines are my favorites; that I can see!

You amaze me with your vision!

Noah the Great said...

Wow, this totally goes over my head!

Gemma Wiseman said...

Love the final sense of "gathering black".

It implies "still creating" ~ quite dramatic!
