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
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.
