Author notes
AP's first (and last?) stereoscopic poem.
Instructions: create a third middle image with your eyes by lining up the two titles, then read the poem in the superimposed middle image.
contest note: Transatlanticism
aren't you glad it wasn't an epic?!
Further Explanation:
Stereoscope images were popular in the 1800's- two images side by side, with a middle image being created by the viewer superimposing the two and creating a third center image. Now here, if you look at this poem's center vertical line you can see that there are two before you focus in. Move it over to the other side of the adjacent image and a magical third image appears in the middle. In the 1800's the middle image was a 3D image. Here, you can put the poem together and read it...
Irony- you feel as if you are crossing your eyes to create the third center image; in reality your are actually 'uncrossing' your eyes, as if you are looking off into the distance again...
