Spectacles

SPECTACLES GRANT SIGHT TO                       EYES WHICH NEED A LITTLE HELP
 OPTICAL DEVISES WHICH ARE WORN         ON THE FACE FRAMES REST ON NOSES
  GIVE                               PERFECT VISION SLIPPING                               FROM
 TIME                                    TO TIME ONLY TO BE                                 LIFTED
  BACK                                      INTO POSITION                                      AGAIN
 WITH                                       A QUICK PUSH                                       SIGHT
  GIVEN                                    BY A          LENS                                    GLASS
  SHAPE                                 BENDS            LIGHT                                 INTO
        PLACE                  GRANTING                   VISION TO                   THOSE
         WHOSE EYES STRUGGLE TO                     SEE THROUGH THE BLUR OF
              THE WORLD THAT                                          PASSES THEM BY

I enjoyed the process of trying to read this poem, and my poem for the contest about this poem is done in humor. I definitely need a new pair of glasses now though, lol. Nice visual display to mess up my perception, but really nice poem.
