A skeleton in a fingerprint

Funny what we see on a smudged cell phone screen

A skeleton in a fingerprint

 

A skeleton in a fingerprint

A dancing bag of bones

A cantilever shade of gray

A prisoner all alone

A silent pulsing partner

A drift this blot of ink

A catch phrase in the darkness

A caption on the brink

A blistered swirl of images

A channeled mystery

A skeleton in a fingerprint

A different piece of me

Wow this is really different, and cool. Curious how much there is to discover and evaluate when we ponder. A brilliant piece.

I don't know how a fingerprint can tell so much, but evidently there are no two alike...amazing...

[Jack...]

Thanks so muc Marie.

Sort of like a Rorschach test, isn't it? :) I liked the varied images you created here and the alliteration was great. Written with just the right touch of humor. A good one, Jack. Lydi**

Your fingerprint looks like a whirlpool...very creative indeed...Enjoyed Jack...Rose:)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Rose. It was just something I saw yesterday that I found strange and funny at the same time, so you what we poets do when we see something like that...we write. I appreciate your sweet words.

I like this quirky piece of poetry Jack...you wrap your pen around the mundane and make it very cool.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my friend.

This is so cool, my sweet friend. Our fingerprint is like our identity. It's how some people can locate us and all, it's all very fascinating - I think anyway. I hate when my phone is covered in finger prints.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my friend.

Finding the poetry in the uniquely everyday - very cool, Jack. Something to ponder here... the fingerprint is a part of you, and the cell phone is too, leaving a "cyber-fingerprint" to share with the world.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Rita. Just hit me funny so I thought I'd write about it.

[Sami Khalil]

[Jack...]
