Ridiculous question:

Does anyone know of any shape poems? I know there was the mouse's tale by Lewis Carroll, but it's not the easiest of poems to understand in itself despite the convenience of the shape part. I'm teaching it tomorrow, see, and I'm not sure how to come up with a google response that's not aimed at 5 yr olds...

Hunh. Apparently they're 'concrete poems' in the US. *regoogles*

age group? George Herbert did some good ones, Easter Wings and stuff, but its old, and religious, and we looked at 'em in first year uni.

That's awesome.

I wrote a poem about elbows that was vaguely elbow-shaped once.
