Unusual poems

All of us know poems. It is connoted with something serious and maybe glamorous. 
What about unusual poems, different from others?

For example, a poem against Russian government.
During WWII in Poland you have mustn't write anything criticising the government, because Poland oficially didn't exist. Every art work should have been accepted.  When something was 'dangerous', ex. it was controversial, the thing was forbidden. That's why artists tried to avoid it. 

In 1939 in Lwów Adam Sreżoga wrote a poem and gained the Stalin Award. 
As you can see, the poem is a praise for the Red Army.
But try to read it horizontal (simultaneously verses 1 with 3, and 2 with 4)... :)

However, a lot of people think that Miłosz wrote this poem. It was corrected in one newspaper, which you can read here.


Also Julian Tuwim wrote an interesting poem. It can be read in the same way as another his poem, written in French. Some letters are read in a bit different way, but mostly it is the same.
The meaning of these two poems is defferent, but still it's incredible.


Julian Tuwim wrote more original poems, but a lot of them are not suitable for quoting^^'
