Infatuated
Immersed in trancelike confusion
Unabated
Inviting induced illusion
Intoxicated

Look beyond the obvious.

There are some things I can take from this poem and I love a poem that is just vague enough where the reader has to work a bit. Well done

Thank you!!
I love how this poem can be interpreted from so many different angles, neither interpretation being any more right or wrong than the other. I deliberately wrote this to be ambiguous, which is really where the illusion lies.

Thanks again, Himler!
There are so many different ways to interpret this. The title can be so deceptive, really. I suppose that just might be part of the illusion. Personally, I was thinking about the word "infatuation" when I first wrote this, although no matter how it's interpreted, neither answer is any more right than the other. I deliberately set it up to be read from many different angles. I think that's what made this one so fun to write. Don

I can honestly say
I have never read a definition
of infatuation more
intriguing; more poignant,
and true to the phenomenon
called infatuation.
This is exquisite!
I love the pic,
it compliments your
words so well.
I adore this!

Quite a few words with a lot to say once more! I am not sure if I should feel drunk or elated by them...
Great write once again!

I was inbriated by this poem or was I infatatuated. Since I'm no fool, I must have been intoxicated. Maybe I was simpe drunk. ha ha. I loved this poem Don.

That's awesome!
I was hoping to get many different interpretations with this piece, and that has certainly been the case. The title is so deceptive, which is where the illusion in this piece falls into place. No matter how this piece is interpreted, neither answer is any more right or wrong than the other. I delibrately wrote it to be looked at from many angles. Thankfully, I wasn't inebriated when I wrote this. I quit drinking in my early twenties. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Jeff. It was really fun to write. In my author notes, there is a link to some more cool illusion wallpapers, including this one. My wife and kids had fun looking through those. Don

Is that an Escher picture? Cos it certainly looks like it and I love Escher prints, they're just amazing.
Love this poem too, simple, yet bloody brilliant.
"Inviting induced illusion" <-- marvellous
Congratulations on the Honourable Mention. Take care! x -

Thank you, George.
You know, I'm not sure if that is an Escher print, or not. Here is the link to where I got this wallpaper. Your comments always lift my spirits. Don, your "AP uncle from across the pond." That just cracks me up. "Across the pond!" Priceless!

Thank you very much.
Your kind comments are so appreciated. This piece is funny, because it can be interpreted in so many different ways, really. The title is what is the most deceptive. There's no right or wrong way to interpret this piece, that's for sure. I suppose that is where the illusion lies. Knight70

Wonderful use of language. I love the picture. So many ways to look at it. Nice flow. I could stare at the picture longer but think it would upset my equilibrium. LOL. Well done.

The title is so deceptive, but it is an illusion after all. There are so many ways to interpret this piece. In fact, there is no right or wrong way to interpret it.
