The joy of symmetry


I remember, as a child, my mother teaching me 
The importance of asymmetry.
 At Christmas, I’d arrange things on the mantel 
And she would come by after me 
And shift them all around; 
 Put two candles on the right and shift 
The other to the left, 
Yet still, as an adult, I love 
The natural symmetry of things, 
And sometimes take delight 
In ignoring the Rule of Thirds…
