I have always been a fan of Escher which in a way was how the original words became 9 by 3 and 3 by 9 travelling on the same inventive staircase.

I forgot to post the poem

Nice one

Dave

On a wind swept hill
Swords tie my heart
Echoing heels whirling

The sun dawned silhouetted romance
In a circle of steel
Damsel grey leather glistening

On the wheel you
Enshrined upon my neck
Mud echoing pounding

Maid for me
Everything free
On a wish

Swords to lacerate my heart
Attacker or defender
Puncturing my defences

Bleeding
For your desires
Of my wishes

To finality
Encircling me with steel
Of my song

In mock plays
That cut the soul
Of my night

Of Death
Granting your desires
To cheat your desires

Thanks Copperbell.

I think I prefer this to the other, but the other makes me want to write more - this makes me want to think.

So on the other I can write without thinking - probably a relief.

thanks

Mirror images shaded in grey but brought to color in your words. Excellent write. I am assuming you were talking about M.C. Escher and I agree if so. I am a huge fan as well and have been since I can remember.

Also am glad you came back and posted the poem as for a minute there I sorted of had a brain stall until I scrolled down. LOL

Very much enjoyed the write and am becoming a big fan of your perspective.

Mark

I should have used his full name - M.C. Escher.

He has inspired my thinking for a long time, but along with authors on Body Language, Meditation, Chinese Massage, Accountancy, IT, Management and those correspondence courses that to a degree made the difficult seem simple he is sublime and I am a little tongue in cheek.

Before you hit me with advanced mathematics - I tend to work with words these days and when threatened - I have a 3 year subscription to the Economist.

thanks

Dave
