Shape Poetry – Stride Away

Late nights and the magic of MS Paint. I wonder if I have always been a 2am poet or is it a recent phenomenon. Mixing art with words in this Girl Shape Poem which I absolutely loved writing.

 

 
“She swirls and twirls
towards a new horizon
catching sunlight with her hair
A pocketful of smiles
flowing down her gown
Her heart immersed in mellow
delightful dreams,
full to the brim
hopes around,
Some lost, some found”

Shape Poetry is also associated with Concrete Poetry.

Shape is one of the main things that separate prose and poetry. Poetry can take on many formats, but one of the most inventive forms is for the poem to take on the shape of its subject. Therefore, if the subject of your poem were of a flower, then the poem would be shaped like a flower. If it were of a fish, then the poem would take on the shape of a fish. ><<<*>

Shape and Concrete Poetry go hand-in-hand; however, Concrete or Visual Poetry don’t have to take on the particular shape of the poem’s subject, but rather the wording in the poem can enhance the effect of the words such as in this line:
