Duality of Sight
A poem for the "Sensational" challenge
Sight is a blessing, there is no equality
Is it the greatest gift? I’d defend with ferocity
Believing what is in front, it confirms reality
-
But is it truly the greatest gift?
Also other senses exist, do they not persist?
It’s never wise to set your mind so straight
Deceiving yourself into believing sight is the only great
-
To you I say think and appreciate
The elegance of sight, allowing us to accommodate
Mind fabrications to reality, affiliates
Alludes to a better world. Illuminates

Did you find the hidden (not so hidden) Haiku? (read the bolded words)

This is a masterpiece, I now finally understand a poem within a poem! Well done 👏🏼
What a clever idea and such skillful execution! Well done, Mohammed!
Oh, Mohammed, this is masterful! I did spot the hidden poem, but like Dharrsheena, didn't realise until the end that it was a haiku! So thought-provoking and a brilliant take on the challenge! Love it!
Cleverly written! I spotted the Haiku before I read to the end.
Omg! I did find the hidden poem but I didn't realise it was a Haiku! This was so brilliant!
Wonderful job! I really love that last line :)
One of the most clever poems I’ve ever read.
