Rolling Poem

Invention: Rolling Poem
Purpose: To reduce the amount of space taken up by poetry.

The rolling poem is a new method of poem-writing. Simply take a word, connect it in a loop, and roll it along the floor.
The tracks left behind are often gibberish, but on very special occasions can become POETRY!

Here's an example of how it works:

Rolling Poem

When you connect the word EARTH in a loop and roll it you get:
EARTHEARTHEARTHEARTHEARTHEARTHEARTHEARTH...

However, with some creative spacing and Carriage Returns this sequence of letters becomes:

HEAR THE ART
HEARTH HEART
EARTH
EARTH
EARTH

Try it with other words, like STONE or ARE.
