    Concrete Poem This form of poetry has been around since

    Poetry or Shape Poetry.

    The term Concrete Poem was coined in the

    1950s.

    Form If you remove the form of the poem, you weaken the

    poem.

    In some (though not all) Concrete Poems, the formcontains so much significant meaning of the poemthat, if you remove the form of the poem, you destroythe 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. Thisallows a poem to ignore standard syntax, and logicalsequencing.
