Now an optical illusion <br />is when your eyes <br />play tricks on you. <br />It shows you things <br />that are not really there. <br /> <br />The old saying of only <br />half believe what you see <br />has more truth in it <br />than you would believe, <br />as we don’t always see things <br />the way they really are. <br /> <br />Take an abstract painting, <br />take a closer look at it <br />and see how many things <br />your mind can make there. <br /> <br />Watch the clouds <br />roll by overhead <br />and look at the different shapes <br />that are created there. <br /> <br />The next time you look at something, <br />just be aware <br />it could well be <br />an optical illusion there. <br /> <br />21-22 February 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/optical-illusion-2/
