“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.”
