Shedding Light

A poem in the shape of a lamp that reads as follows: The poems make figures They are deeply existential Yet some make a funny shape Most are just meant to be symmetric There is something satisfying out of visual effects Eccentric designs Hidden messages They are visually appealing The shape is what sells them It makes people want to read them Even though they may not always rhyme There is more to them than meets the eye Though some seem to make no sense Go beyond their superficial display Find the message hidden inside Little clues to the puzzle About your life About all life Look closely You might find That the meaning of life Has always been hidden in plain sight

These poems are shedding light on neglected topics by shining in untraditional ways. Remember that looks can be deceiving; go beyond what meets the eye.
