Concrete poetry, sometimes called shape poetry is a type of art where the typographical arrangement of words is as important in conveying the intended effect as the conventional elements of the poem (According to Doctor Wikipedia). So, let me know what you think because to be honest I don’t even know… Enjoy

Hey, L.A. – the poem with the kite shape is very creative. I saw a poem the other day about a vase, and I noticed the shape of the lines were vase-shaped. I don’t think the poet even knew what she had accomplished. Didn’t get the Levity shape…but I’m dull in the cerebral cortex before noon.

I have tried my hand at this a few times, it is certainly not easy!
I love the messiness of them. It’s like the words have taken on a life of their own and only the paper/screen is containing them. I want to escape with them.
