A poem resembling stacked blocks that reads as follows: Let intuition be what will guide you Give yourself time to learn what is unknown Most things are not readily apparent Keep searching for answers as they are keys Learn in the way that your mind wants to Discover a path that you can create on your own Find opportunities that offer improvement Applying what you learn requires no degrees You must stand your ground and view Pay close attention to the mind when you are alone Keep going until everything is transparent Seeing your true self will soon become a breeze With patience, you will see what was askew Hidden features of life allow themselves to be known Revealing secrets leading to enlightenment Your life's journey is not meant to be one of ease The words "Building Blocks" are written in a geometric font on top of the outlined words.

A poem in the shape of a camera's wide lens attachment. It reads as follows: You can't go around doing everything at once Trying to do so will eventually make you mad Arguing there is so much you want to create So that you have a reason to go do things You complain there is not enough time For everything you want to get done Wishing for more hours in the day Though most would end wasted Find harmony between the two A way to make them balance Taking a deep breath helps Slow things down just a bit You can only do one thing Only one mind is working One to pay full attention Even multitasking is one Focus on what you want Just one thing for now The rest comes later But one at a time Wait your turn It will come Be ready Let go Be I The words "Wide Lens" are written in a geometric font on top of the outlined words.

A poem in the shape of a hear that reads as follows: Geometric Poetry Make images of the poems Share them for all to enjoy They may not break the internet But they will still be nice to read Play around and create new sentences Finding ways to bring my vision to life Emphasizing the fun patterns and smooth curves that each line helps create Doodle over the thumbnail to make my imagination easier to understand Post those shapes on Pinterest with the link to the poem underneath The shapes will stir curiosity and make others want to hit the link Once there, they see the words that constructed the shapes The fun patterns are still there though less obvious As they search for what they previously saw They can't help but read the words Though some make no sense There are lines of gold Hidden treasures Go seeking Find The word "Purpose" is written in a geometric font on top of the outlined words.

A poem in the shape of a finger print that reads as follows: The one thing you love The one thing that is you The one thing you enjoy doing The one thing that makes you smile The one thing everyone should have The one thing you can't get enough of The one thing that makes you want more The one thing that makes everything okay The one thing you would invest yourself in The one thing that makes others disappear The one thing that makes you feel excited The one thing that makes life worth living The one thing the world is better off with The one thing that makes you skip a beat The one thing that makes you feel calm The one thing you are daydreaming of The one thing that puts you to sleep The one thing that puts you at ease The one thing that puts you in flow The one thing worth caring about The one thing worth fighting for The one thing that relaxes you The one thing you are good at The one thing you want to do The one thing worth sharing The one thing on your mind The word "Print" is written in a geometric font on top of the outlined words.

A poem resembling plates stacking up. It reads as follows: What is the best way from A to B A line straight down the middle No curves or deviations Right to the point No time to waste Going from abstract to tangible One must have a game plan To test one's capabilities Build momentum Always be ready Prepare for the worst to happen Don’t expect easy outcomes Be willing to work hard Find your niche Set some goals Be willing to learn from mistakes Not everything will work out Get ready to try and fail Invest your time well Build good habits The word "Balance" is written in a geometric font on top of the outlined words.

A poem in the shape of a lamp that reads as follows: The poems make figures They are deeply existential Yet some make a funny shape Most are just meant to be symmetric There is something satisfying out of visual effects Eccentric designs Hidden messages They are visually appealing The shape is what sells them It makes people want to read them Even though they may not always rhyme There is more to them than meets the eye Though some seem to make no sense Go beyond their superficial display Find the message hidden inside Little clues to the puzzle About your life About all life Look closely You might find That the meaning of life Has always been hidden in plain sight The words "Shedding Light" are written in a geometric font ontop of the outlined words.
