Original DDE™ surrealistic art: “Fractal Jester” by: rob kistner © 6/23/24
Come with me, my spell you’re under
it is a magic of a most splendorous kind
a wilding world of pure cornucopic wonder
here, treasure troves of dreams to plunder
in this kingdom of your expanding mind
come with me to mystical ports of call
we’re no longer tethered to mere mortal
soar high above the mythic wonderwall
now swept up in this miracle protocol
we’re full sail through mystery’s portal
come with me to a fractal paradise
far beyond anything one can imagine
geometric forms flowing so precise
seemingly organic, yet quite concise
they’re rolling out, as they fold back in
come — beyond fantasy’s elaboration
a world your mind alone cannot beget
it’s a wondrously sweet hallucination
it will boggle your fired imagination
what you will see you will never forget
so… come with me — yes, come with me

This is such a fantastic world that you’ve created with your words and colors! A never ending fairytale.
Thank you Sumana. Life is a never ending story… 🙂
Rob, this poem took me into that fractal world of imagery. Wonderful! And so well rhymed!
Thank you Sherry. Hope it was an enjoyable trip my friend… 🙂
An alluring invitation, full of promise and enchantment! I especially loved the rhythm and the rhyme that texture the poem with a tonal, even melodious insistence — You can almost hear music in the background! A beautiful feast of sight and sound.
Thank you Dora. 😉 It was a fun one to do. I had bits and pieces of it, but it was your prompt that spurred me to pull it all together into a cohesive piece for final publication. 🙂
Highly original, with a set of complex lexical patterns that fit so well, yet send one onto different thoughts and directions.. surrealism between the lines, yes, but also a tantalising playfulness. Well done Rob.
Thank you very much Ain. I am honored you seemed to like my work. Writing has become a bit more challenging in recent years, but it still keeps me focused and sane. 🙂 I was in a Lewis Carroll frame of mind when I began pulling the scattered fragments together for the final edit for publication. Kinda like standing at the the intersection of Alice avenue and Jabberwock lane, in the county of Leary. “Fractal Fantasy” is made up of segments of different pieces I’ve written over the past few years. Still not certain I am 100% set on this iteration — but it’s damned close.
A hypnotic poem and invitation to ‘Come with me’, psychedelic and magical Rob.
I think I was reliving my 1960’s in my rick band Kim… 😉
Your fractal art, music choices, the “come with me” ~ enchanting poetry! It reminded me how I felt viewing Fantasia, as an adult.
When editing this together for publication Helen, I think I may have had, what we called in the 60’s — a “FLASHBACK”… 😉
I do remember those fractal images from when I was a PhD student… so amazingly trippy with some rather simple math behind it, still so extremely complex.
Lil’bit’a mathmaGic’s Björn… 😉
Beautifully written, Rob. I love the world of fantasy and illusion you are painting here with your words!
Thank you Dwight, always appreciate your kind words my friend… 🙂
Rob, I’ve had many fractal dreams. What do think they mean? The visualizations you shared put me in a state of relaxation.
They always make me feel I am on a quest, seeking something — but it always feels creative, positive… never negative. 🙂
The visuals are very hypnotic, so I’m not surprised they induced relaxation. They take me deep as well Lisa… 🙂
They almost feel like they’re portraying the process of thinking.
I think they also contain an element of flying.
