=Sample of a Symmetrical Poem=

Symmetry

Evenly distributed…both sides the same Balanced in harmony…comfortable and tame Pictures of like-kind…similar borders Symptom of obsessive compulsive disorders

True mirrored images…identical in sight Top matching bottom…left matching right Perfectly squared…no added component “Peas in a pod”…indistinguishable moment

Life in a straight line…not bent or curved Wary of changes…conformity preserved Product of planning…time is well-spent Resulting perfection…rating of “mint”

Poetry verses…that must always rhyme Clear syncopation…ev-er-y time ’til a poet’s spirit…is touched in a way that

…form is ignored …words take their shape …structure is dismissed …ideas are championed and …a new poem is born.
