2. “Concrete poetry is sometimes called picture poetry or shape poetry
“Concrete poetry is sometimes called picture poetry or shape poetry. It combines poetic writing and drawing. The form that the poem is written in mirrors the topic of the poem. There are three traditional ways this is down: (1) the poem can follow the outline of the object, (2) the poem can fill a shape that is the subject of the poem, or (3) the poem can use the way words are written on the page to form an image.”

3. Concrete Poem
This form of poetry has been around since the 1500s. It was originally called “Pattern Poetry” or “Shape Poetry.”
The term “Concrete Poem” was coined in the 1950s.
Present an idea graphically by using the letters and/or words to create a picture

5. Form If you remove the form of the poem, you weaken the poem.
In some (though not all) Concrete Poems, the form contains so much significant meaning of the poem that, if you remove the form of the poem, you destroy the poem.
The arrangement of letters and words creates an image that offers the meaning visually.
The white space of the page can be a significant part of the poem.
The physical arrangement in a Concrete Poem can provide a cohesion that the actual words lack. This allows a poem to ignore standard syntax, and logical sequencing.
