Concrete Poetry


"To a Pine"
©Barbra Lambert

Ah,

the  pine,

the     robust

pine,  with  needles

rife  on  boughs  aplenty.   

And        O    its     scent,   its

  lovely   scent  that  wafts  through

forests        dark        and         dense.

Ah,     the      pine,    the    regal   pine—

How       stately       is       its        presence.

Concrete poetry, also known as visual or image poetry, is poetry that can be written in the shape of its subject matter. The poem can use rhymed or unrhymed lines, and its length is dependent upon the space needed to create its shape.
