Concrete
A concrete poem is a type of poetry in which the visual arrangement of words and letters on the page form a specific shape or pattern that complements the subject or theme of the poem. Unlike traditional poetry, where the focus is primarily on rhythm and meaning, concrete poems use typography, spacing, and layout to enhance the reader’s experience and directly represent the poem’s subject.
Little Paws
A Flop. A Curl. A Hug. A Wag.
Little paws patter, soft as a white cloud Max.
With love in each step, you curl beside me,
and we dream. Floppy ears, softest fur,
so dear. My constant friend,
you stay close, like a hug on a cold
day. We run, we rest. You know best,
my little Max, my joy. My heart’s
delight, my furry friend, my
tail-wagging love till
the very end.
