10/18/2017 0 Comments Concrete Poetry is also known as size or shape poetry. It uses word or typographical arrangement to visually show an aspect of the poem. It is, in part, a form of visual art; if the poem isn't seen, there is a component of the meaning missing for the reader. Look for it here:
"Swan and Shadow" by John Hollander Idaho by S.M.(M).L. Idaho you are mournful today with your deep-gray filled clouds. West winds prove spring is pushing winter out, but it is just March. There is something Sorrowful in your look today —bringing the low, reverberate howl of wolves to mind. Idaho you are green; you are gracious; you are mountain peak and cavernous canyon. Your smell is sweet, cleansed in an aroma that wraps around and drags down into the depths of your lakes. Idaho you are earth at her pinnacle, called gem for good reason. Idaho you are home to few but the land-locked lucky.
