This Fib chain was written for the Monday Mural prompt at Poefusion. Enjoy.

a
face
forms in
fingerprints
my fingers form you
pixelated grayscale wonder
who
are
you, this
face coming
out of my mind to
stare at me from paper, wordless?
I
probe
for the
mysteries
behind your silent
eyes, paintbrushes, and collapsed spine

you are just on a roll aren’t you… another beauty!!!!
Your words are beautiful, Raven. These fibs delve into the portrait so well. I especially liked the first and last fibs. Have a nice night.
Curious about “fibs!” Will have to look into that; no idea what they are. What an interesting way of creating a portrait, and it sounds like an interesting way of creating a poem as well. The last words here leap out at me, “collapsed spine.” So unexpected!
Like these.
Another masterpiece, I must say. I’ve enjoyed the short time I’ve had to visit here today and I certainly will visit more often and whenever time permits. Your poetry is very soul inspired and certainly touches my heart. I especially liked “Story Teller,” “A QUEEN’S EPISTLE” and “Edge.” I was absolutely blown away by those, and those are the only one’s I’ve had time to read today; so from what I’ve read, I know I’ll be pleasantly intrigued by the others as well. Thanks again for sharing your art! Peace, Light and Love to you and yours. . . CordieB.
Wonderful work. I es0pecialliy like “collapsed spine.” Well, the whole last line is surprising. There’s a great tone of questioning here that moves the poem forward.
Thank you, everyone.
This was difficult to write, considering I don’t know that much about Chuck Close. But his face…seemed to form out of a mist in my mind, and I imagined it was like that for the artist when she created this painting. I’ve never seen a fingerprint painting, and this was intriguing.
