 Kaleidoscope

"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.
