I rarely give my fractals names any more- I don't want to impose my vision on something that you may see differently. It's like the Rorschach test- it means exactly what the viewer WANTS it to mean, and nothing more.
I did read your poem, but in passing- I didn't have time to reflect and reply. I will a little later this evening.
. . . ...my very first thought was, "If that's a Rorschach test... I believe I just flunked it." . . . So to speak. . . . I almost feel... not violated... but... PRURIENTED. . . . I may not know art, but I know what I'd like. .
. ...as I always thought of the title as an integral part of the poem. . I might sometimes tell people what may have inspired a poem, but I ALWAYS refused to interpret a poem -- usually glibly. I would say, "I've DONE my part -- now it's YOUR job." . Quite often folks would tell me what it meant and it would have absolutely nothing to do with MY intent -- yet their interpretation was virtually always valid and gave ME a new and interesting perspective about what I'd written -- often they pointed out what my sub-/unconscious had done that I might not have noticed otherwise. .
