Four men with wrought-iron frames <br />Set out to tame the world. <br />One had an ornamental frame <br />With calligraphic flourishes and curves. <br />One had a simple frame <br />With vertical lines evenly spaced, <br />Like a cage in a zoo. <br />One had a tangled frame: <br />No symmetry nor grace <br />Invaded its entrails. <br />The last had an empty frame. <br />He tamed the world.<br /><br />Ananta Madhavan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/frames-2/
