Its crazy how we see things, and
what the mind can understand
it doesnt matter what the order
or if it appears the way you planned
the letters can all be jumbled,
from the start right to the end
but your brain will quickly sort them
and the words will then amend
so i type this little crooked ditty
with letters tangled and askew
in the hopes that you can understand
and its real meaning you construe
exert your brain unto this problem
to your mind words will appear
the poem posed here before you
will be distinct and quite clear

I laughed and just loved it!
That poem was Wonderfully wicked to enjoy!
I demise dear poet that perhaps a streak of dark poetry
a mistress warrior resides in you tucked carefully inside
a silly muse that enjoys tickling us with creative
and unique writes!
How could we resist the cleverness in this poem!
Great job!
humbly admitting some of my poems actually sound like
the above poem "unintentionally" lol...oh yeah...

Write like it.

I've seen this a few times explained in scientific magazines and such
really nice how the mind recognizes words with only the first and last letter right
Great work!
