I have made my way to your concrete poem from your comment on mine and I really love how you created yours! Very visual and wonderful arrangement of words! I love that the words create the outline and the depth of meaning is enhanced as with "your skin thin like this fruit", which makes this description not on visible, but felt. Nice! Now on to your next. Appreciate you for sharing these! Blessings, ~Wendy💜
Thank you Wendy. Concrete poetry can be huge fun..... I think it gets undervalued because a lot of it really is just about the shape - when it can be so much more...
Hi Ash. Thankyou for taking the time to work out how the words flow, and then taking the time to comment. I suspect a lot of people take a quick look, and see it just as a graphic, then move on. We are all too rushed..... which is why your "Poetry Outdoors" is so relevant. "Regenerating our relationship to the natural world..." After visiting your site, I now want to travel to Haida Gwaii......
