FARCICALITY (Shape Poetry)

A repost

I walked on a place where I'm not that sure if I'll be comfortable,
with nothing but a thick blindfold. Was it to test my sense or
I am too confident that I can find the best seat for me?

A whisper in my ear simply made me feel at ease
for a while knowing that someone's there by
my side. After some moments the wind
blew and the soft voice was gone.
Only then I noticed, the wind
was my only companion.

And I realized how
farcical I am
hoping
that I
can
hold
the
w
i
n
d

in
my
arms.

Author's Note

Shape Poetry

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.
