Ever folding in upon itself
in an infinite replication
as it expands to infinity
pattern upon pattern
in a complex unity
of cacophonic
harmony
of like form
differing layers
amorphous balance
in an eternal fracture
of evolving perfections
occurring simultaneously
on micro and macro planes
of mystery and comprehension
both appearing and disappearing
in the same linear moment of time
in this way
fractals mirror magic
and love

Love the folding in, and expanding into infinity. The movements in the videos play on my eyes, smiles.
I had no idea what was expected here Grace, I was just using my expression of how observing a fractal impacts me. Have no grasp of what fractal poetry is!? 😐
Grooving to the video!! “Fractals mirror love” is spot on! I also think it’s about the duality of form. Your poetic form here displays the duality well.
Glad you dig it Tricia! 😉
Your fractal poem is bang on, since no parameters were pre-set. I used four styles with my piece, hoping to juxtapose symmetry with raw edges and fisticuff phrases. We both used the infinite mirror image; great minds.
Thank you Glenn, and yes, we approached from a similar perspective. Great minds indeed my friend…
I think you got the feel of fractual poetry very well, even if I sm nit sure what it is exsctly..the closing is real…very.
I have no idea what fractal poetry is Ain, I was expressing my personal stream of consciousness interpretation of fractals.
And you did an excellent job! Now I need to learn more about fractals. That’s what good poetry does: it pushes us in new directions. Thanks, Rob.
Thank you teach! Be ready to have your mind blown… 😉
Rob, I love the twist in your poem. I read it again and again with both fractals and love in mind. Then when I looked at the top image it looked like two fractals staring deep into each other’s eye lol. The visualization video was trippy. I remember visualization program built into old computers I had and thought they were neat. This one takes it to a new level. Love what you did with the prompt!
Glad this resonated for you Lisa… 😉
Infinite replication …mirroring to infinity

Conclusion
Excellence woven in ????????
Thank you Reena… 🙂
Wonderful poem, Rob. I like what you did with this and your ending is perfect!
Thank you Dwight… 🙂
“an eternal fracture
of evolving perfections.”
🙂
Luv your sketched words to fractals. And you are ever the very best DJ at any dVerse party.
Much love…
Thank you Gillena, much love to you my friend… 🙂
You’ve really captured how we see infinity through the patterns of a fractal. Something small reflecting the whole. Something ephemeral and restrained by time giving us a peak into that which is eternal and everlasting.
I am very pleased this piece reached you Nitin. 🙂
I love the use of shape here, and this line:
in an eternal fracture
of evolving perfections
Ghank you Zan. 🙂
I love the stucture and words of your poem and the last bit is great
Thank you Marja… 🙂
I am so much in love with fractals! Have been for years. Had not heard of fractal poetry, but your poem certainly echoes the fractal shape and movement, which to me seems a perfect interpretation.
Thank you Rosemary… 🙂 I just tried to capture in words what I saw unfolding in front of me on the screen and projecting further what final impression it left me with.
Okay, Brother. Now, could you come on over here and help me pick up all the tiny fragments of my completely blown mind?
I am too old my friend, sweeping would likely put me in the ER — but I will send my Roomba… 😉
