I'm mad I missed the class on Tuesday, I read about. or got too look at some, examples of concrete poetry. Its definitely think that concrete poetry is an artistic way to look at poetry and people who can really make the words, sentences and images all work together can use concrete poetry really effectively. I'm not sure how great I would be at concrete poetry because I've neveer been one to make good collages or anything, but I would defintley give concrete poetry a try. One of the pieces that I looked at and thought was really well done was the one with the football set up. The offense and defense slowly mixing showed the organization of football slowly turning to mayhem. We have surely seen that how your order of words can effect the outcome or outlook on a poem. When lines end but a sentence has not it and a person takes the time to think about that line they can really be thrown for a loop as to the plot of the peom or the feelings of the characters in the poem. Concrete poetry makes you think right off the bat. First, you need to lookat the actual seperate pieces and then see what they make when they come together, both in shape and in wording. Then putting these words and images together and analyzing them helps you see what the poet is really trying to say. This formulaic breakdown of concrete poetry shows that a lot of thought must go into each piece.
