They labeled me crazy
Put me away
They were serious
I only played
In the ink spots I saw
Wonderful imagery
Of Oz and Disneyland
Christopher Robin's tree
The Wicked Witch is dead
Get outta my head I screamed
Can't you see Toto?
I know life is but a dream
Try to remember
That's what they said
Try to remember
Spill what's in your head
What was in my memory
Did not suit their plan
So Toto and I just sit
Holding (Winnie the) Pooh's hand

You do these so very well. Yes you do.
Have a fabulous day. :)
Yeowch! This has a disjointed sharp feel that goes terrifically well with its subject matter. Thanks so much for participating. K.
Very clever.
And you can hold Pooh's hand, just don't hold poo in your hand.
smiles..i like the blend in of all the childrens tales...feels almost like and out of mind experience...when others dont understand you it is def hard...
i am caught up looking at the ink blots.. that last one looks like a crazy little batman guy with a turkey like spread tail and 2 orange dogs at the bottom watching the whole batmanturkeytail...
This is a hoot!
I see Toto in the last image...
You may be certifiably crazy... :) J
AH this was a great read.. and those images are really hard to see.. (but in the last one it was easy)...
I LOVE that you created your own inkblot! Fun, huh? Your poem has just enough crazy to make it unnerving and just enough coherence to let me follow it. Great job with the challenge!
playing in the ink spots has something so charming - ugh - but so tough if your friends or fam don't understand you...
Dotty ink spots? That's crazy! lol
Um ~ Better use the hand sanitizer after that last line .
Sorry just being a bit crazy . ;)
Different yet interesting ! That's what makes it so unique ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good week !
Love your version very much! Colors and associations - very nice!
"They were serious , I only played". I love that. Sometimes the one designated by this or that label is the sanest one........at the very least, the most honest. That's how it is in my family!
Delightful Gail!
I am more and more fascinated by the poets' interpretations of Dr. Mouse's inkblots.
Great Gail . . . love ink blots . . . and interpretations!
love what you do with words....I do, I do. Oma Linda
I love yours!
This is magical and so fun to read!
What did the Dr diagnose you with?!
;D
My worst nightmare, Gail. ;)
Me and Winnie.
..
Yikes...that was scary! But, very well penned!
OK, now I know you're gonna laugh when I say this, but when I first saw the photo/painting, I thought Gail's gone and got herself a fancy pair of underwear and a sweater with cuffs that match????? Then the cat was fine with stones n footsteps around it? My mind, oh where have you gone :)
Hi to TM, Marcy, Andrew, Zander n all, special hugz to Marcy :)

The first ink blot looks like a rabid badger in a football shirt - nuff said :)

Good one as always, Gail. :-)
Ink spots, fairy tales and Disney, I do not think you left out a thing. Person to person perceptions never cease to puzzle me.
Lovely. Your poem made me smile. :-)
