Kaleidoscope Poem by Ima Ryma

'Kaleidoscope' from ancient Greek,
A term that means beautiful shapes
That can be formed for those who seek
To view such in colorful scapes.
David Brewster did coin the term
In 1817 when he
Applied for patent to confirm
The tube mirrored reflectivity
Of colored glass pieces turned 'round
To reflect back in countless ways,
Multi symmetry to astound
The viewer of the formed arrays.

Simplest are mass produced as toys
For hand held peek that all enjoys.
